Some seek to expose, invade and steal it, others to protect, conceal and withhold it. Either way, the assumption is that privacy is a possession to be won or lost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                    But what if what we call private life is the one element in us that we can't possess? Could it be that we're so intent on taking hold of the privacy of others, or keeping hold of our own only because we're powerless to do either?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                    In this groundbreaking book, Josh Cohen uses his experience as a psychoanalyst, literature professor and human being to explore the conception of private life as the presence in us of someone else, an uncanny stranger both unrecognisable and eerily familiar, who can be neither owned nor controlled. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                    Drawing on a dizzying array of characters and concerns, from John Milton and Henry James to Katie Price and Snoopy, from philosophy and the Bible to pornography and late-night TV, The Private Life weaves a richly personal tapestry of ideas and experience. In a culture that floods our lives with light, it asks, how is it that we remain so helplessly in the dark?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Josh Cohen\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Hardback\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Pages: 240\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: GRANTA BOOKS\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: 03 Oct 2013\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Thryft Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Like New","offer_id":39260035809361,"sku":"BF637.P74","price":35.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":39260035842129,"sku":"BF637.P74","price":28.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":39421832691793,"sku":"BF637.P74","price":25.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Well Read","offer_id":39260035874897,"sku":"BF637.P74","price":22.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/0598\/4849\/products\/9781847085290.jpg?v=1717797307","url":"https:\/\/thryft.my\/products\/the-private-life-why-we-remain-in-the-dark-hardback","provider":"Thryft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
