An excellent character study of a man. Surprisingly (perhaps, since I probably should have been exposed to it earlier), I must thank Ravelstein for introducing me to Plato's Symposium and especially to Aristophanes. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/18870?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
