In this volume, which reaffirms the uncompromising brilliance of
his mind, Cioran strips the human condition down to its most basic
components, birth and death, suggesting that disaster lies not in
the prospect of death but in the fact of birth, "that laughable
accident." In the lucid, aphoristic style that characterizes his
work, Cioran writes of time and death, God and religion, suicide
and suffering, and the temptation to silence. Through sharp
observation and patient contemplation, Cioran cuts to the heart of
the human experience.
"A love of Cioran creates an urge to press his writing into
someone's hand, and is followed by an equal urge to pull it away as
poison."--"The New Yorker"
"In the company of Nietzsche and Kierkegaard."--"Publishers
Weekly"
"No modern writer twists the knife with Cioran's dexterity. . . .
His writing . . . is informed with the bitterness of genuine
compassion."--"Boston Phoenix
"
