my paper is based on the validity of "cruel" love, I'm taking a pro- approach. using Sacher-Masoch's Venus in Furs, Genet's Funeral Rites, and Bataille's Solar Anus (which is making me want to scream. haha).

any thoughts on any of those works? I'm making three main assertions using the texts:

1) love is an inversion, but also an encompassment, of cruelty
2) love is a projection and assumption of one's desires, however corrupt they may be
3) the dichotomies of love and the grotesque are innately paired, like creation and destruction.

blah blahhh. if you've done any thing on any of these works, it would probably help me out. it's not a hard paper, I'm just not in an academic mood.

i'm finally going through all my messages from my birthday. thank you for such a sweet note! it definitely made me smile really really big! you are a sweetheart!
