ParadisoCultural Writing. Shortly before her death Gillian Rose began work on a new book--her Paradiso--thus fulfilling her promise at the end of Love's Work to 'stay in the fray, in the revel of ideas and risk'. These fragments of the unfinished book are published here for the first time. Paradiso contains some of Rose's most serene and affirmatory writing, and in that light completes one of the most remarkable philosophical oeuvres of the late 20th century. |
