Description
Eros the Bittersweet by Anne Carson is a lyrical exploration of the concept of eros, or romantic love, drawing on classical philosophy and literature. The book begins with Sappho's definition of eros as "bittersweet," a notion that Carson examines from various perspectives.
Through a meditation in the tradition of William Carlos Williams and William H. Gass, Carson creates an epigrammatic and witty work that is both entertaining and original. This book offers a unique perspective on the complexities of love and desire.
