Synopsis
Reason and a Season is a novel that offers a penetrating and trenchant exploration into the dangers of intense romantic love. Exposing the sadomasochistic psychological dynamics in which lovers all too often engage, the novel is richly philosophical, drawing from the ideas of the Marquis de Sade, Nietzsche, Foucault, and Jean Paul Sartre. What is at stake is the gaze of the lover, and here we are challenged to test our own narcissism and cultural bias regarding the nature of romantic love.

About the Author
Kevin Boileau, Ph.D., J.D., LL.M., has been writing about the human condition for several years. All of his several theoretical and literary publications pursue an understanding of the vagaries, struggles, and foibles of the Western self and its multiude of narrative structures. Boileau is a social critic, interested in our political condition and, as such, brings to bear the methodologies of psychoanalysis and phenomenology to his work. He writes in the style of French minimalism and is considered a radical existentialist though he might eschew the term. He is also the author of several books and articles and a regular speaker at local colloquia.
