💡 How to use these texts effectively:
- Start with a biography (e.g., Lely or Bongie) to understand the gap between the man and the myth.
- Then read Philosophy in the Bedroom (found in the Justine collection) – it’s his clearest philosophical statement.
- If you have the stomach, read 120 Days or Justine afterward.
- Finally, engage with the critics (Barthes, Carter) to see how Sade became a philosophical touchstone.
- Why it's useful: An early (1930s) but still insightful psychological and anthropological study. Gorer linked Sade’s work to his aristocratic milieu and the Terror.
