BLY, ROBERT The Sibling Society
Reading, MA Addison-Wesley Publishing Co. , 1996 0201406462 / 9780201406467 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good in Good dust jacket
319 pages, cloth, dj, very good. 1st printing. From the dj: In The Sibling Society, Bly turns to stories as unexpected as Jack and the Beanstalk and the Hindu tale of Ganesha to illustrate and illuminate the troubled soul of our nation itself. What he shows us is a culture where adults remain children, and where children have no desire to become adults - a nation of squabbling siblings. Through his use of poetry and myth, Bly takes us beyond the sociological statistics and tired psychobabble to see our dilemma afresh. In this sibling culture that he descries, we tolerate no one above us and have no concern for anyone below us. Like sullen teenagers we live in our peer group, glancing side to side, rather than upward, for direction. We have brought down all forms of hierarchy because hierarchy is based on power, often abused. Yet with that leveling we have also destroyed any willingness to look up or down. Without that 'vertical gaze,' as Bly calls it, we have no longing for the good, no deep understanding of evil. We have no elders and no children; no past and no future. What we are left with is spiritual flatness. The talk show replaces family Instead of art we have the Internet. In the place of community we have the mall.
