Die Arbeit untersucht die dynamischen Beziehungen zwischen Schriftsteller-Paaren und wie deren gemeinsamer Beruf des Schreibens ihre Partnerschaften prägt. Anhand von Beispielen wie Sophie Mereau und Clemens Brentano sowie Scott und Zelda Fitzgerald werden sowohl positive Aspekte wie Unterstützung und Respekt als auch negative Gefühle wie Konkurrenz und Rivalität thematisiert. Zudem wird analysiert, wie die Partner sich selbst und gegenseitig in ihrer kreativen Arbeit wahrnehmen und wie diese Beziehungen die literarische Produktion beeinflussen. Die Exklusivität der Beziehungen wird dabei besonders hervorgehoben.
