Alain de Botton, 'Essays in Love'


이 남자 뭐지.
남자의 시선에서 쓴 소설이.
왜 내가 공감이 되는걸까.
이 기분은 뭐지.
나는 여자의 탈을 쓴 남자인 것일까요.
그런것일까요.

오랜만에 내 정식 속 빼놓는 책.
기차에서 내리지 않고 엉덩이 착 붙히고 끝까지 읽게하는.
추천! :)

Chapter 7. False Notes (pg 52)
"...... In Plato's Symposium, Aristophanes accounts for this feeling of familiarity by claiming 
that the loved one was our long-lost 'other half' to whose body our own had originally been joined.
In the beginning, all human beings were hermaphrodites with double backs,... were so powerful and their pride so overweening that Zeus was forced to cur them in two, into a male and female half... 
yearned nostalgically but confusedly to rejoin the part from which he or she was severed."

매일있는 남자 여자 이야기.
없어서는 안될.
가장 중요한.
이야기.
풀이.
