- Summary
- "Charles Baudelaire, Walter Benjamin, and Sylvia Plath make up the odd trio on which this book is based. It is in the surprising and revealing links between them - links pertaining to troublesome mothers, elusive foreign languages, and professional disappointments - that Barbara Johnson maps the coordinates of her larger claims about the ideal of oneness in every area of life, and about the damage done by this ideal" -- Dust jacket.
