Cioran, E. M. On the Heights of Despair (0226106713)
This work shows E.M. Cioran's first grappling with themes he would return to in his mature works: despair and decay, absurdity and alienation, futility and the irrationality of existence. It also presents Cioran as a connoisseur of apocalypse, a theoretician of despair, for whom writing and philosophy both share the 'lyrical virtues' that alone lead to a metaphysical revelation.
