Description
A polemic account of this supremacy of the couple form, and how that supremacy blocks our understanding of the single.
Michael Cobb reads the figurative language surrounding singleness as it traverses an eclectic set of literary, cultural, philosophical, psychoanalytical, and popular culture objects from Plato, Virginia Woolf, and Morrissey to the Bible, Sex and the City, and Beyoncé's “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)." Within these flights of fancy, poetry, fiction, strange moments in film and video, paintings made in the desert, bits of song, and memoirs of hiking in national parks, Cobb offers an inspired, eloquent rumination on the single, which is guaranteed to spark conversation and consideration.
