Book Review: Why Love Hurts: A Sociological Explanation by Eva Illouz | LSE Review of Books
Came to this via Badiou's In Praise of Love, and it's totally awesome. Indeed, a must-read on the subject. While she - almost admittedly - underestimates the need for psychoanalytic accounts, the focus on a sociological perspective results in a brilliant discussion that keeps both feminists and marxists on their toes, asks us all to reflect on our relationships, and gifts us a literary gem every few pages.
