Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)A fascinating hybrid of a philosophical meditation on love and a diary of Berlin summers, Persky's book breaks so many rules to thrilling effect that he should be enshrined as Chief Literary Outlaw. Persky is so fearless ininvestigating the basis for his feelings about his work, his obsession witha young rent-boy in Berlin and his friends that he virtually dares thereader to become exasperated with his waffling about reaching any prematureconclusions. The miracle of his writing (and thought process) is that hekeeps us fully engaged in his conversation with himself until exasperationturns into affection and complicity. Persky's love of teaching (he is aprofessor of philosophy in Vancouver, BC) is clear here both explicitly (hetalks about his concern for his students at length) and implicitly (theentire book becomes an example of a unique teaching style). Persky, who isproudly over 60, takes pains to make sure we know that his own libido isexuberantly healthy (bravo!). If he had anything to do with approving thefabulous cover art for the book, he certainly insured that the libido ofevery reader will be sent into overdrive every time the eye catches thecover.
