5.0 out of 5 stars Illuminates the writings of de Sade!, 22 Jan 1999

By A Customer

I've read de Sade, and studied him in class at Harvard. Only NOW--after having read Paz--can I understand what was underneath all the "frigging" and "embuggering."

External structures that are often inflexible and ultimately produce ludicrous, harmful people & behaviors. This is what Sade was getting at.

Paz shows us that Sade can't be dismissed as an inept writer of pornography. There's oh! so much more going on.
