On Childhood and Love
Philippe Sollers: The love encounter between two people is the rapport between their childhoods. Without that, it doesn’t amount to much.
Julia Kristeva: You’re right to begin with childhood, because ours were so different, and yet we’ve brought them into tune.
This week, our featured book is Marriage as a Fine Art, by Julia Kristeva and Philippe Sollers. For the week’s final post, we are happy to present an excerpt from the book’s second chapter, in which Kristeva and Sollers discuss the importance of childhood to shaping how one lives and loves.
