- effects
- are
- things
- we
- do
- not
- intend.
- And,
- in
- this
- collection
- of
- essays,
- Adam
- Phillips
- examines
- how
- the
- things
- we
- don’t
- mean,
- or
- mean
- perhaps
- to
- forget,
- prove
- to
- be
- those
- that
- are
- often
- most
- telling
- about
- our
- unconscious
- lives.Phillips
- also
- intends
- for
- us
- to
- question
- our
- conscious
- pursuit
- of
- happiness,
- explaining
- that,
- in
- refusing
- to
- admit
- and
- explore
- life’s
- down
- sides,
- we
- can
- only
- be
- living
- half
- lives.
- And
- through
- his
- unique
- and
- incisive
- exploration
- of
- literature,
- Phillips
- also
- demonstrates
- what
- the
- great
- novelists
- have
- to
- tell
- us
- about
- ourselves.Both
- illuminating
- and
- fascinating
- on
- literature
- as
- well
- as
- life,
- Side
- Effects
- maps
- our
- edges
- as
- human
- beings,
- and,
- in
- doing
- so,
- goes
- some
- way
- to
- helping
- give
- shape
- to
- our lives.
