Male Fantasies: Volume 1: Women, Floods, Bodies, History by Klaus Theweleit
dark
reflective
slow-paced
1.5
Really academic writing (in the worst sense) and also translated from German, so a bit wordy. The content assumes you know the intricate details of Psychoanalisys. There are some flashes of interesting information, but the rest IMO is "oedpius complex" drivel. Though parts of the book want to refute Freud, at least 80% of the book is comparing every little thing to a penis or to semen.
Graphic: Death, Gore, Hate crime, Misogyny, Sexual content, Violence, Blood, Excrement, Murder, War, and Classism
Moderate: Incest, Alcohol, and Colonisation
Deals with heavily with the war crimes of pre-Nazis
