Description
Single: Arguments for the Uncoupled offers a provocative account of the social supremacy of couples and how this affects our understanding of singleness. Michael Cobb explores the figurative language surrounding singleness through a diverse range of literary, cultural, philosophical, psychoanalytical, and popular culture objects.
Cobb examines these sources to offer an eloquent rumination on the single, drawing on poetry, fiction, film, paintings, song, and memoirs. The result is an inspired exploration that is likely to spark conversation and consideration.
