Phillips, the psychoanalyst of 'small' things, here turns his gaze on the topic of monogamy, on which he places great significance. His collection of aphorisms expose the complexity in the choices we make, the expectations we have and the fears that underlie them. Deceptively simple, his comments are loaded with insight. I'm still grappling with much of the content but that which I do comprehend certainly resonates. A slim, but weighty volume that demands re-reading.
