- Summary
- "Against Nature, a companion volume to Espedal's earlier Against Art, is an examination of factory work, love's labour and the work of writing. Espedal dwells on the notion that working is required in order to live in compliance with society, but is this natural? And how can it be natural when he is drawn towards impossible things--impossible love, books, myths and taboos? He is drawn into the stories of Abélard and Héloïse, of young Marguerite Duras and her Chinese lover, and soon realizes that he, too, is turning into a person who must choose to live against nature."--Book jacket.
