Thoughtful and Engaging,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Burdens of Intimacy: Psychoanalysis and Victorian Masculinity (Paperback)
We are often taught that intimacy is pleasurable. Mr Lane brings authority and wisdom to bear on the proposition that whilst intimacy may indeed be a source of pleasure, the opposite (pain) is just as true. In support, he calls on the Victorians and their ideas on the subject, and his book is an excellent read on both counts. Mr Lane's arguments about gender and fantasy are likewise most interesting. Throughout, his writing is clear, to the point, and refreshingly free of jargon.
