Book Reviews of On Love and Death
Book Review: Short but powerful book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is like Suskinds other works, deep with meanings and charecter. This book is very small, both in page numbers and size, think of a greeting card and you will be able to picture the actual size of the book. But it focuses on the authors views of Love and Death. He states some of his opinions then a story follows it. I am a fan of his work, so my review of this book is admittedly biased, but none the less it is a moving read.
Summary of On Love and Death
In ON LOVE AND DEATH, Patrick Suskind reveals the hidden source of his mesmerizing fiction: an obsession with the darkly erotic link between love and death. In this witty and thought-provoking meditation on the two elemental forces of human existence, he brilliantly draws on scenes as contemporary as a young couple having oral sex in a traffic jam, as literary as Thomas Mann's discovery of forbidden love at an advanced age, and as mythical as the stories of death conquered through love in the narratives of Orpheus and Jesus.Essays Books
