  • Summary

  • This letter is addressed to the one who is always suspicious yet never reveals themselves: the suspicious Eros, not defined by her connection to Thanatos, but by her love story with Psyche. This episode is an essay on the recent novel "The Palace of Eros," by the Uruguayan-American Caro de Robertis, and the broader societal context of the current wars, and the communitarian enlightenment through bodily emancipation that opposes it. Through a detailed analysis of the novel, they examine the transformative power of love and myth, highlighting how these narratives can serve as a proposal for liberation and resistance against oppressive systems. They reflect on the novel's reimagining of Greek mythology and its exploration of gender, desire, and power, as a renovation of a rooted hope for all kinds of bodies.
