No human quality is more necessary for survival than love. But
while love has the power to lift us up with boundless joy, it has
equal strength to crush us—it is easy to lose your way within
love’s complex labyrinth of oppositions. The Labyrinth of Tender
Force collects 166 of Alexander Kluge’s love stories previously
concealed among his vast library of more than 2,000 texts. “Basic
stories” was what he once called them. Organized thematically,
these stories take readers on a flight over the maps—the varied
topography—of love. This flight ends on a high plateau, at the
heart of the most beautiful romances and a cardinal text of
modernity about the economy of relationships: Madame de La
Fayette’s The Princess of Cleves. The latest offering from one of
the greatest living German writers, The Labyrinth of Tender Force
masterfully explores the greatest peaks and the most dreadful
crevasses of passionate love through an inspired combination of
Kluge’s vignettes with drawings, photographs, and other archival
material culled from diverse sources.
