Intimacy is the story of an unnamed narrator ruminating on suicide He reflects on the origins and significance of his material possessions and on the seemingly inconsequential moments in his life while he prepares to carry out his plans In this melancholy novel about a man on the brink of suicide Stanley Crawford allows readers to question what it really means to be close to a person Intimacy follows an unnamed narrator planning his own death His preparations become a trigger and occasion for him to revisit key moments in his life and his material possessions which are the solid artifacts from his lifes journey nbsp As sparrows in flight might form a single arrow the life of the narrator comes into focus as a collage of fleeting events and images Readers gain insights into tiny moments that slowly build into a picture of a man who seems to have very little aside from material possessions to lose nbsp The narrative pulls the reader along a trail of digressionsabout running shoes about the symbolism of ringsthat lead down a proverbial rabbit hole until we realize the narrators intentions Despite our lack of concrete knowledge about the narrators life he allows us to share his thought processes how every thought leads to the next how memories seep upward when he picks up a particular Tshirt or when he glimpses his car keys And alongside our growing understanding of the narrator comes a recognition of our own thought processes how we like him relate to our bodies how we too cannot break away from the constant motion of our thoughts nbspIntimacy is a brief intense novel charged with the heightened sense of closeness that comes from watching a mans last hours It illuminates how brief snapshots of memory can trace the outline of an entire life

Two gifted and highly prolific intellectuals Leo Bersani and Adam Phillips here present a fascinating dialogue about the problems and possibilities of human intimacy Their conversation takes as its point of departure psychoanalysis and its central importance to the modern imaginationthough equally important is their shared sense that by misleading us about the importance of selfknowledge and the danger of narcissism psychoanalysis has failed to realize its most exciting and innovative relational potential In pursuit of new forms of intimacy they take up a range of concerns across a variety of contexts To test the hypothesis that the essence of the analytic exchange is intimate talk without sex they compare Patrice Lecontes film about an accountant mistaken for a psychoanalyst Intimate Strangers with Henry Jamess classic novella The Beast in the Jungle A discussion of the radical practice of barebackingunprotected anal sex between gay mendelineates an intimacy that rejects the personal Even serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer and the Bush administrations war on terror enter the scene as the conversation turns to the way aggression thrills and gratifies the ego Finally in a reading of Socrates theory of love from Platos Phaedrus Bersani and Phillips call for a new form of intimacy which they term impersonal narcissism a divestiture of the ego and a recognition of ones nonpsychological potential self in others This revolutionary way of relating to the world they contend could lead to a new human freedom by mitigating the horrifying violence we blithely accept as part of human nature Charmingly persuasive and daringly provocative Intimacies is a rare opportunity to listen in on two brilliant thinkers as they explore new ways of thinking about the human psyche

Before the eighteenthcentury rise of the ideology of intimacy sexuality was defined not by social affiliations but by bodies In Before Intimacy Daniel Juan Gil examines sixteenthcentury English literary concepts of sexuality that frame erotic ties as neither bound by social customs nor transgressive of them but rather as loopholes in peoples experiences and associationsnbspEngaging the poems of Wyatt Sidneys Astrophil and Stella Spensers Amoretti and The Faerie Queene and Shakespeares Troilus and Cressida and the Sonnets Gil demonstrates how sexuality was conceived as a relationship system inhabited by men and women interchangeablyset apart from the norm and not institutionalized in a private or domestic realm Going beyond the sodomyastransgression analytic he asserts the existence of socially inconsequential sexual bonds while recognizing the pleasurable effects of violating the supposed traditional modes of bonding and ideals of universal humanity and social hierarchynbspCelebrating the ability of corporeal emotions to interpret connections between people who share nothing in terms of societal structure Before Intimacy shows how these works of early modern literature provide a discourse of sexuality that strives to understand status differences in erotic contexts and thereby question key assumptions of modernitynbspDaniel Juan Gil is assistant professor of English at TCU
