In "The Sexual Night," renowned French writer and critic Pascal
Quignard meditates on a remarkable collection of illustrations of
sexual imagery. He moves from the annals of global art to ancient
and modern, from Bosch and Durer to Rembrandt and Tintoretto, from
Caspar David Friedrich and Caravaggio to Bacon and Jean Rustin. The
meditations are wonderfully woven together, presenting a reflection
on the sexual image that psychoanalysis calls "the primal scene"--a
concept introduced by Freud as the first sexual scene witnessed by
a child; a scene that is unexplained, unforgettable, and ultimately
haunting.
Throughout the course of twenty-seven chapters that draw on the
mythological and artistic resources of Western and Far Eastern
culture--including the tragic love of Dido and Aeneas; the
scandalous figure of Mary Magdalene; Lascaux and Golgotha;
voyeurism and melancholy; Saint Augustine and Freud--the book is a
disquisition on vision, temporality, generation, and creation in
all its forms. Forty-eight brilliant and sensual color images
accompany the text, as Quignard questions the origin of our being
and explains the unexplainable, while noted translator Chris Turner
lends a crisp voice to the entire collection.
