Food for Thought by Louis Marin
Throughout, he is concerned with the conceptualization of desire and pleasure, justice and force, natural violence and political power-and questions their ideological as well as their symbolic bases.
The leitmotif of this book is the way in which.. the sacramental eating of Christ's body is performed through the grammar of the sentence... Marin's admiration for the word made flesh, and hence the word made power, is what makes this book both fascinating and disturbing. Times Literary Supplement
