A review by ahtk93
The Agony of Eros by Byung-Chul Han

3.0

This hit different the second time around. My first read through was on beginning-of-pandemic-mid-March-2020 brain, my second reread is on it’s-been-a-year-and-a-half-ish-of-shit-hitting-the-fan brain and I have knocked it down a star.

There’s one quote that I would love to ask Byung-Chul about now “post-apocalypse”-ish: “In other words: only an apocalypse can liberate - indeed, redeem - is from the inferno of the same, and lead us toward the Other.”
