by Donatien Alphonse François de Sade

No, I think De Sade believed his own philosophy. There are a lot of things in his books that are tongue in cheek, and a lot of things he is mocking, but whenever the characters go off on those random, vitriolic tirades on philosophy, I believe that De Sade believes himself.

He's a madman. He's a madman but his viewpoint cannot be dismissed. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/80351638 The Colossus of Maroussi (Paperback) by Henry Miller
