Sean O'Connor's lovers, other stories, and words is one of the most important philosophical works of the 21st century, the first phase of a philosophy he is ever creating, developing, and cultivating, a process "surpassing absolutism to a point of an ever expanding universe of unlimited possibility and complete interconnectivity". Via solely connecting words, "the way people throughout history have connected stars and drawn constellations", he constructs a way of thinking that creates and describes values, making a resource and a blessing of everything he perceives and considers. Written and published before the philosopher was 24, O'Connor has planted the seeds for a lifetime worth of thought to create and share. Accompanied by a fascinating, amusing, and at times, quite erotic collection of short stories, this book shines in the midst of the cynicism, economic struggle, and materialism which desensitized the postmodern era in which it was written.
