Description: The Reddest Rose by Liv Stromquist, Melissa Bowers Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The internationally acclaimed activist follows up her satirical work of graphic medicine with this collection of humorous comics essays about how historical and societal shifts have altered -- and perhaps destroyed -- "romantic love." Publisher Description The deceptively simple through-line for Swedish media personality and activist Liv Strömquists The Reddest Rose is the question: Why does Leonardo DiCaprio date an endless string of 20-something models? Her answer-in the form of this collection of well-researched, humorous comics essays- tracks how philosophers and artists, from the Ancient Greeks to Beyoncé, conceptualized romantic love. Strömquists signature characters, drawn in a flat, blocky style, ask each other questions and offer sharp commentary as they guide readers throughout history and the change in societies values, from showing love/loving to getting love/being loved. (Poet Hilda "H.D." Doolittle-who was so love-stricken by a man taking off his glasses that she believed they viewed dolphins together in another dimension- lends the book its title.) Lord Byron, Socrates, Byung-Chul Han, Ezra Pound, Slavoj iek, Lou Andreas-Salomé, Ariadne, and many others have cameos. For the first time in English, in The Reddest Rose, Strömquist wonders: in a rationalist, consumerist world, can romantic love survive?
