The Separation

by Kevin Boileau

Overview

This is another volume in a series of works about the human condition by Dr. Kevin Boileau. It is phenomenological in the tradition of Hemingway and Kafka, simultaneously tragic and joyous. It is moral in tone and psychoanalytic in structure, presenting the story of a character both distraught and resolved, sedimented and transcendent. It is best read along with its companion volume, The Return, which presents a gestalt inversion of our normal, conventional lifeworlds. Both are replete with phenomenological-ontological descriptions of dying and transformation.

About the Author

Dr. Kevin Boileau 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 multitude of narrative structures. Boileau is a philosopher and 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 the author of several books and articles, a regular speaker at local colloquia, and a professor of psychoanalytic theory, phenomenology, and philosophy.
