I read Marat/Sade by Peter Weiss

Read this ahead of starting The Aesthetics of Resistance, Weiss' epic novel about student antifascists thinking about art in the immediate prelude to World War II. It is divine and I'm having so many thoughts about it so far. But this play is also really good. Fun, strange, amorphous, but dead serious about the stakes of eros, production, and society. Stumbling upon this book in the one super huge used book warehouse in my hometown really opened my mind to a world of art and cultural references but also, well, that you can have serious thoughts about these kind of things! The Royal Shakespeare production of it is on YouTube.
