E. M. Cioran lived on the margins of the modern world. Like his friends Beckett and Ionesco, he stood apart from all the official trappings of his chosen medium of philosophy. Not since Nietzsche has a thinker revealed himself so drastically. All Gall Is Divided is a breviary of estrangement that rejoices in the contradictions and confusions of human fate. As his translator Richard Howard remarks, “You fraternize with Emil Cioran at your peril, but it is the kind of danger that keeps you alive.”

I've spent most of my life trying to make sense of the world. Cioran does it in 2 hours and 33 minutes.

Read anything by him. It doesn't matter where you start. It's all fantastic.

In a perfect world, they would start kids as young as three years old on Cioran. Give them an idea of what they are getting into. Of course, in a perfect world, Cioran's books wouldn't exist.

"I'll have what he's having!"

The man was incapable of writing a single sentence that was not perfectly beautiful, stubborn, brilliant, and wildly provocative. One Cioran sentence is worth a whole book by most other writers who just beat around the bush. Find out why Thomas Ligotti, Eugene Thacker, Susan Sontag and other thinkers have the highest praise for this master of irony and paradox. And the Adamson narration is magnificent. He reminds me of Star Trek's Brent Spiner playing android Lore or one of the Soong mad scientists. A feast of thought.

Cioran Is Incomparable
