Hey north, Do you have any recommendations for love as consumption books? Im trying to motivate myself to read again
hi! just a preface (again) that i don't read that much fiction, so all of these here will be essays and/or theory:
Hélène Cixous, "Love of the Wolf" (one of the texts about cannibalism and desire that you will see a lot of ppl talking about. a good place to start since you're motivating yourself to read! it's pretty short [sixteen pages] and wonderfully written)
Sharon Olds, The Father (no cannibalism, but when i think about love as consumption i take it to mean of flesh, of thought, of spirit. that is to say, cannibalism, codependency, mutually-assured destruction. this poetry collection meditates upon her complex feelings about her father who is dying of cancer)
Simone Weil, Waiting for God (this book is more mystic/religious, and could be dense for a lot of readers. i definitely had to split the book into chunks. this doesn't explicitly discuss cannibalism but weil does talk about spirituality and the different dynamics humans have with god)
Georges Bataille, Erotism: Death and Sensuality (another very dense book. i enjoy bataille a lot but this definitely wouldn't be something to jump headfirst into when you're easing yourself back into reading. bataille discusses different aspects of death/different avenues of death and how this separation/alienation of life and death, spirit and body can be seen as erotic, or at least test the boundary)
Michael Kinnucan, "Incest, Cannibalism, and the Gods: The Rise of the House of Atreus" (an essay about house of atreus of greek mythology fame <333 an easy read. very well-written)
Alec Irwin, "Devoured by God: Cannibalism, Mysticism, and Ethics in Simone Weil" (an essay about themes of cannibalism/man-eaten-by-god in simone weil's work. i do recommend reading weil before reading this essay though!)
The Routledge Companion to Literature and Food (essay collection, many authors here broach the topic of cannibalism in relation to the genre of literature they are discussing)
