Description

Sweet Nothing is an eco-feminist, spiritual and philosophical lament against the increasing speed and fragmentation of modern life. It draws parallels between some of the central ideas of existential phenomenology, psychoanalysis and neo-pagan spirituality, in order to make a case for the slowing down of Being. A philosophical memoir, powerfully woven together by a personal narrative of the Italian immigrant experience.
