Evolution of Desire: A Life of René Girard by Cynthia L. Haven

freder1ck's review

4.0

Good biography and substantive account of the development of Girard's ideas. Read Girard something by Girard first, like I See Satan Fall Like Lightning.

5.0

An invaluable aide to plan a systematic reading of Girard.

The author writes a biography with enough background on Girard's système that motivates the reading of his oeuvre.

Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended!
