Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A shining exploration of why we marry from highly acclaimed author of Feeling Jewish Devorah BaumFor better or worse. For richer or poorer. Till death us do part . . .We've always done it, we're still doing it. Straight, queer, coupled or uncoupled, none of us live outside the cultural and psychological influence of marriage and all of us are written into its story. But why this highly contested and ancient practice has remained relevant to so many is by no means certain. Is it an act of love, a leap of faith, a holy bond, a contractual commitment, a bid for security, a framework for family, a hedge against being alone? Or could its traditional cover conceal something a bit more radical? Why do we do it at all?Drawing on philosophy, film, fiction, comedy, psychoanalysis, music and poetry, Devorah Baum considers the marriage plot. What are we really talking about when we talk about marriage? And what are we really doing when we say, 'I do'?Entertaining, illuminating, candid and consoling, On Marriage is a critique and a celebration of the many contradictions of matrimony - its sorrows as well as its joys - and an enquiry into its effects on us all. A compulsively readable, startling, and philosophically rich book about marriage, from an acclaimed critic and filmmaker Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
