Welcome to Litsy!

What would Kant�s sexts look like? How would Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir break up? What would Confucius think of Tinder? Love Voltaire Us Apart is a hilarious spoof relationship guide with a philosophical edge, made up of philosophers� love letters, advice columns and breakup letters. From Confucius learning the Golden Rules of dating to Simone de Beauvoir considering bangs after breaking up with Jean-Paul Sartre, comedy writer Julia Edelman views the love lives of prominent philosophers through a clever and contemporary lens. She points out that Margaret Fuller is the �Carrie� of transcendentalism, and Nietzsche will always find a way to make a bad breakup infinitely worse. �Getting Meta(Physical)�Who is Your Philosopher Crush?� is the only quiz you�ll need to find your soul mate, and �How To Know if Your Man is Writing a Manifesto� will show you how to avoid losing your relationship to imminent revolution. Based on Edelman�s New Yorker article, �Excerpts from Philosophers� Breakup Letters Throughout History�, Love Voltaire Us Apart is funny, smart, refreshingly original, and brought to life with charming illustrations by Hallie Bateman.
