'This book offers a fearlessly new reading of de Sade. Avoiding the usual strategies which meet sadism with represssion or optimistic notions of positive transformation, the author returns to the extraordinary paradox of ancient medicine: the cause of a disease is its very cure. Imagination cures literalism, offering a way through the cruelties that affect family, education, love affairs, the work place, and politics.'
