The Compass of Our Longing
What does it mean to love selfishly—to get what you want? Or to love unselfishly—to give what you need? The Compass of Our Longing explores these questions through the story of The Lover and The Beloved, weaving together images from histories of knowledge and religion, the colonization of the Americas, and contemporary digital-age spirituality.
