"We found so much to say, to share, to learn...For it wasn't just
the Marquis de Sade profile and the sporty thighs-and-calves that
seduced me. It was even more, perhaps, or certainly just as much,
the speed at which you used to read, and still do."-Julia Kristeva
"We're married, Julia and I, that's a fact, but we each have our
own personalities, our own name, activities, and freedom. Love is
the full recognition of the other in their otherness. If this other
is very close to you, as in this case, it seems to me that what's
at stake is harmony within difference. The difference between men
and women is irreducible; there's no possibility of
fusion."-Philippe Sollers Marriage as a Fine Art is an enchanting
series of exchanges in which Julia Kristeva and Philippe Sollers,
married for fifty years, speak candidly about their love. Though
they live separately, Kristeva and Sollers are fully committed to
each other. Their bond is intellectual and psychological,
passionate and mundane. They share everything when together, and
lose themselves in their interests when apart. Their marriage is
art, rich with history and meaning, idiosyncratic, and dynamic in
its expression. Yet it is also as common as they come. Kristeva and
Sollers have lived through the same challenges, peaks, and lulls as
all married couples do. With humor and honesty, they elaborate on
these moments, turning marriage's familiar aspects into exceptional
examples of relating, struggling, transcending, and being. Marriage
as a Fine Art is a rare chance to know these intellectuals-and
marriage-more intimately.
