On the Benefits of Friendship
Edité par Sternberg Press - 2023
"Isabelle Graw's "On the Benefits of Friendship" reflects on the purposes and struggles of friendship in a society geared to competition. By focusing on her own social milieu-the art world- Graw demonstrates how friendships are neither completely disinterested nor fully reduceable to their use value. Written in the intimate form of a fictional diary, this book laments utility friendships while praising true friendship in all its forms. For Graw's narrator, friendship is an existencial necessity- it points to how we relate to and depend on others. With it, we are able to fully live." (Presses du réel)
