IHSI Book Club – November 2027
November 17th – Contempt by Alberto Moravia
Summary
Contempt is an unflinching examination of desperation and self-deception in the emotional vacuum of modern consumer society. All the qualities for which Alberto Moravia is justly famous—his cool clarity of expression, his exacting attention to psychological complexity and social pretension, his still-striking openness about sex—are evident in this story of a failing marriage.
