Albert Camus, Sigmund Freud, and Simone Weil, each one afflicted by catastrophe. Their politics and private griefs, the depth of their understanding, fling open a window into our present crises.

: Living Death In Our Times enacts a psychic reckoning for our moment and for the future to be forged in its aftermath."--Publisher.
