Description

"In The Art of Reading as a way of Life, Daniel T. O'Hara traces the current reception and translation of Nietzsche's corpus and analyzes some of Nietzsche's boldest textual experiments. O'Hara begins in the middle of Nietzsche's career with The Gay Science and moves on to Thus Spoke Zarathustra, which Nietzsche believed was the central work of his life. He then reevaluates Ecce Homo, Nietzsche's final autobiographical statement about his life and career, before concluding with a comparative analysis of two works from the beginning and end of that career, The Birth of Tragedy and The Anti-Christ. O'Hara's highly original study, which uses Badiou's theory of the truth-event as a guide, will surely provoke larger conversations across many disciplines."--BOOK JACKET.
