Considered one of Soren Kierkegaard's most vital writings, Works of affection is a profound exam of the human middle, within which the good thinker conducts the reader into the inmost secrets and techniques of affection. "Deep inside each man," Kierkegaard writes, "there lies the dread of being on my own on the earth, forgotten by way of God, neglected one of the loved ones of thousands upon thousands.
"In the substantial literature of affection, The Seducer's Diary is an complicated curiosity--a feverishly highbrow try and reconstruct an erotic failure as a pedagogic luck, a wound masked as a boast," observes John Updike in his foreword to Søren Kierkegaard''s narrative.

Not until quite recently did we begin to find reminiscence sometimes more congenial than philosophy.
