Savage God: A Study of Suicide"Suicide," writes the notes English poet and critic A. Alvarez, "has permeated Western culture like a dye that cannot be washed out."

"Suicide," writes the notes English poet and critic A. Alvarez, "has permeated Western culture like a dye that cannot be washed out." Although the aims of this compelling, compassionate work are broadly cultural and literary, the narrative is rooted in personal experience: it begins with a long memoir of Sylvia Plath, and ends with an account of the author's own suicide attempt. Within this dramatic framework, Alvarez launches his enquiry into the final taboo of human behavior, and traces changing attitudes towards suicide from the perspective of literature. He follows the black thread leading from Dante through Donne and the romantic agony, to the Savage God at the heart of modern literature.

Would be great if it was $10
Color: Gold
Feels like cardboard. I had one of these years ago .. but this style is hard to find. The quality is cheap. Not worth the price.

even nicer than I expected
Color: Gold
Perfect! Looks much more expensive than it costs. Looks exactly like the photos and feels just like it looks like it would. I absolutely love how spacious it is because most clutches can barely hold my phone let alone a pair of reading glasses and some lip balm. The color is absolutely gorgeous and exactly as it was shown. The zipper is quality the tassel is darling I love the fold over and a good strong magnetic clasp. The little shoulder chain is perfect whether you choose to use it or put it back in the bag.

Lovely
Color: Bronze
Very pretty clutch. I would really say this is a pretty large clutch. Soft! It comes with a metal chain, that I won't use. The tassel is a nice touch. This is not so formal that you couldn't wear it with jeans for a punch. I bought it with the Nine West Feather pump - bronze. They compliment so well! This is "cracked" and the shoes are not. But I'd still highly encourage pairing them. You could use this for a formal or create a smashing jeans outfit. Either way, just beautiful.
