Much more than Sade here ...,
This review is from: An Erotic Beyond: Sade (Hardcover)
Revise here, in a few pages, your notion of the Marquis de Sade. Paz's growing comprehension of the depth of Sade's formulation of what is and is not "erotic" - Paz's 1947 poem, his 1960 essay on Sade's "ideas," and his 1986 essay that completes this progression of understanding - is only one joy in this slim volume. Paz's recollection of his conversation with Jean Paulhan at the Parc Montsouris, capturing the feel of Paris and that time, is worth the price of admission.

Illuminates the writings of de Sade!,

This review is from: An Erotic Beyond: Sade (Hardcover)
I've read de Sade, and studied him in class at Harvard. Only NOW--after having read Paz--can I understand what was underneath all the "frigging" and "embuggering."External structures that are often inflexible and ultimately produce ludicrous, harmful people & behaviors. This is what Sade was getting at. Paz shows us that Sade can't be dismissed as an inept writer of pornography. There's oh! so much more going on. |
