Title : Professors of Despair - Nancy Huston - Book
Summary :
We are becoming schizophrenic, my friends. In our daily lives, we care about each other, anxiously follow the news, and do everything in our power to preserve and strengthen our bonds. As readers or spectators, on the contrary, we praise the champions of nothingness, advocate a sexuality as exhibitionist as it is sterile, and listen endlessly to the litany of human turpitudes. What is the reason for this growing gap, at the dawn of the 21st century, between what we want to experience (solidarity-generosity-democracy) and what we want to consume as culture (transgression-violence-solitude-despair)?
"Man is good and bad," said George Sand. "But he is something else: nuance, the nuance which is for me the goal of art."
Has contemporary literature given up on this goal?
