God and Plastic Surgery: Marx, Nietzsche, Freud and the Obvious

by Jeremy Barris

An unusual and intensive study of the work of the intellectual progenitors of contemporary Western thought. A battery of insights into how to and how not to think, act, feel, eat, dress, dance, take tea, or fuck. Something like equal parts Gertrude Stein and Wittgenstein.

yeah im saying im done

gave myself whiplash on my opinion on this

everything up to the start of the freud section i will maintain is masterful, even if maybe it was totally accidentally masterful? everything i appreciated about what i believed it to be doing (and that i admired about it) was undone and obliterated by the remainder of the book. which could, in all honesty, be deliberate, but didn't feel like something i was obligated to read

But I have no memory for this at all, unless its prompted for from another. I recall enjoying it, though that does not mean I agreed with or liked it.
