Semi-P: Norman Brown//Love's Body

[Smoke Teff]

Another rec this morning:

A lot of you urged me toward NOB's *Life Against Death *as *GR
*companion/source
material. Regardless of *GR *(to the extent anything is), *LAD *was pretty
transformative.

I haven't heard many of you talking about *Love's Body*, another Brown book
that I think gets called a kind of follow-up to *LAD*. It's more diffusely
structured than *LAD*, and it's rhetorical tactics are a bit subtler, more
atmospheric--but this is part of its essence and argument, I think. Plus
he's just a dazzling thinker, fun to watch on the page.

Published in 1966 so seems reasonable TRP reads it before *GR*.
