DESCRIPTION:
His many books include Anathemas and Admirations, A Short History of Decay, and The Trouble with Being Born.Richard Howard is the author of eleven books of poetry, including Untitled Subjects, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1970. E. He received the American Book Award for his translation of Charles Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du Mal.. M. Cioran left his native land of Romania for Paris in
"Hilarious" according to Clarence Beeks, Jr.. Witty sharp vocabulary enhancing, despair with him, won't you? Good stuff, I'm off to read his other works. Funny too.. "A let down" according to David McAllister. Cioran is mentioned often, and I had to see. These aphorisms, to me, are quite boring. There are so many other works of this sort that I liked better.
Not since Nietzsche has a thinker revealed himself so drastically. All Gall Is Divided is a breviary of estrangement that rejoices in the contradictions and confusions of human fate. Like his friends Beckett and Ionesco, he stood apart from all the official trappings of his chosen medium of philosophy. As his translator Richard Howard remarks, “You fraternize with Emil Cioran at your peril, but it is the kind of danger that keeps you alive.”. E. M. Cioran lived on the margins of the modern world
“Cioran is reminiscent of Beckett one of the most delicate minds of the real power writing today.” (Susan Sontag)
