Petit Morts: Meditations on Love and Death intertwines musings on the generative nature of love with a mourning of the finitude of the human body. It examines ways in which the dead dictate the emotional life of their survivors, and the manner in which life is reborn in a new form through interpersonal connection.. Spurred by musings on Freud's theories of Eros and Thanatos, psychiatrist Mukund Gnanadesikan takes the reader inside his own grief for loved ones and a dying universe, while offering hope of emotional regeneration in the form of basic human relatedness and empathy.
