The Agony of Eros by Byung-Chul Han

challenging emotional informative reflective slow-paced

The Agony of Eros presents a robust portrait of erotic love. As someone who experiences and pursues love, I did feel that there were valuable messages and ideas to mull over and that really changed my approach to the experience of love. However, the prose was highly typical of academic texts. It was challenging and dense, which I don't necessarily oppose, but I do feel the intended audience was unclear.
