On the Nature of Things Erotic by F. Gonzalez-Crussi - soft cover
Gonzalez-Crussi writes elegant, ruminative essays grounded in both medicine and the humanities. In Notes of an Anatomist (HBJ, 1985) he dissected the human body; here he examines the heart with results nearly as intriguing. Of the eight pieces in this collection, the best are "The Divine Marquis," a defense of Sade, and "On Male Jealousy," a fascinating study of the Spanish concept of honra . Gonzalez-Crussi writes most eloquently on subjects distant in time or space; when he treats the familiar, as in the latter section of "Some Views on Women, Past and Present," he turns trite and predictable. Recommended for academic and larger public libraries.
