Body Work: Objects Of Desire In Modern Narrative

0/5 ( ratings)

Uncovering the body in order to know it has been the quest of narrative since the 18th century. In this tour through art and literature - from Rousseau, Flaubert, and Manet at the origins of modernism to Duras and Mapplethorpe in our own time - Peter Brooks sees the dynamic of narrative as propelled by desire to expose truth that can be found inscribed in the flesh.
