Eros/Pathos: A collection of depressionist erotica (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

This short collection constitutes an attempt at a new and different kind of pornography; one that encompasses both arousal and emotion, and perhaps also tragedy. It is my hope, in doing so, to follow the suggestion of the writer Allen Moore, himself the co-creator of the extraordinary pornographic fantasy Lost Girls: To create a pornography of higher aesthetic quality. It is also my hope that such a pornography may serve as a call for radical empathy in a world that is increasing becoming inhuman. In such a world, sex remains one of the means of achieving such an empathy. Nonetheless, I have attempted to honor the grand tradition of pornography, which is to arouse the reader. One must leave it to the reader, of course, to judge whether I have succeeded.
