I joined this tribe without any thought of Roszak in mind, but a year and a half a go, I got around to reading "The Memoirs of Elizabeth Frankenstein," thanks to a recommendation on another tribe.

I had read Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" way back in college, and found Roszak's rendition of "The Memoirs of Elizabeth Frankenstein" to be a thoroughly resounding piece of fiction, logical follow up to "Frankenstein," and highly recommend it to you all.

It also led me to read "The Gendered Atom" by Roszak, a follow-up (non-fiction) commentary to "The Memoirs," a short yet precise read of civilization's (and more particularly, science's) fundamental invasions into nature. (It also by the way has a foreward by Jane Goodall).

Anyways, both works uncover some "truths" commonly accepted throughout history, psychology, and civilization--particularly, that there is a natural hierarchy, oppositionality, and power inherent to the nature of things--and how each in turn inevitably lead to....the cutting off of a person from reality.
