Publisher's Synopsis

Leo Bersani does battle with the pervasive idea that art can save humanity from the catastrophes of history and sexuality. He argues that this trivializes both art and life itself, in a deceptive and dangerous way. Chapter subjects include Proust, Freud, Baudelaire, Malraux and Bataille.
