Eros the Bittersweet: An Essay
A lyrical meditation on the paradoxical nature of romantic love, this book explores the conflicted nature of desire, which is both "miserable" and "one of the greatest pleasures we have."
First published, it has established itself as a favorite among an unusually broad audience, including classicists, essayists, poets, and general readers.
