An Eros Encyclopedia

Rate this book
To want to reveal; to want to reveal enough; to desire; to desire in the right way, the right amount: in her debut book, Rachel James narrates the desiring subject’s nuanced and entangled intimacies with histories of power. How, in other words, under patriarchy, against misogyny, within capitalist strictures, is knowledge shaped, contained, and transferred? Tracing traditions of theater, pedagogy, and faith, An Eros Encyclopedia offers up desire and the attunement to its many objects as the atmosphere of a life—a method to navigate, perceive, and relate against the illusion of separation.

ranging from the banal, to the esoteric, the metaphysical and the damn right filthy a lovely poetry polemic book of life and love and sex and meaning. I think i need to read it like three more times to understand it but enjoyed it thoroughly.
