Description
This is a bold personal manifesto on our contemporary understanding of romantic love and how the contradictions of inherited traditions and technology affect the way we build relationships. Born and raised in an Orthodox Jewish community in Buenos Aires, Tamara Tenenbaum approaches the sexual and affective habits of the secular world like an anthropologist exploring an unknown civilization. In this book, she draws on philosophy and militant feminism, on conversations with friends and colleagues, and on lessons learned from her attempt to turn her own body into a laboratory for both individual and collective reflection. She turns her gaze on the many facets of affection, from the value of friendship to the culture of consent, passing through motherhood as a choice or an imperative, desired and abhorred singlehood, polyamory, open relationships, and the workings of dating apps. Timely and illuminating, The End of Love celebrates the creative destruction of romantic relationships as we know them, and advocates for the rise of a better, freer love.
