Synopsis

Through an early poem-written just after he became acquainted with the work of the Marquis de Sade-and two later essays, Nobel Prize laureate Paz “admirably questions and explores the meaning of a figure who will not leave us alone” (Kirkus Reviews). Written with Paz’s usual authority blended with irreverence, this book is as provocative as its subject. Translated by Eliot Weinberger.
