Catherine Texier Bücher

18 Jahre lang hat Catherine Texier ihren Mann als Liebe ihres Lebens und Seelenverwandten gesehen. Doch nun liebt er sie nicht mehr. Für keinen der beiden ist es eine leichte Trennung: Immer noch besteht eine starke Anziehung, immer noch hofft die Autorin, er werde zu ihr zurückkehren. Wie sie Monate lang wütet, kämpft und liebt - zuerst, um ihre Ehe zu retten, dann, um sich aus ihr zu lösen - schildert Catherine Texier schonungslos.

Catherine Texier erzählt die Geschichte ihrer Grossmutter, die Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts ihren Mann und 2 Kinder verlässt, um nach Indochina zu gehen.

Lulu, the heroine of this urgent novel, is a young French dancer who works in a downtown strip joint, the Blue Night Lounge. She inhabits a New York world where new, uncompromising styles of love, art, and experience are being born. Lulu wends her way from Julian, a junkie poet, to Henry, a wealthy, priapic Tribeca painter, to the local Puerto Rican boy, Mario. She shares her memories of a confused childhood in France with an older French woman and casts a cool yet passionately observant eye on her adopted city. Written with immediacy and raw intensity, LOVE ME TENDER is an authentic, sometimes shocking, always original slice of urban life, by an author with talent to burn.

I will never forgive you. I will never make love with you again. I do not love you anymore. This book chronicles the tumultuous final months of an eighteen-year romantic and literary partnership, unraveling after the ultimate betrayal. Fearlessly, the author details the end of love, exploring infidelity and deceit in a narrative reminiscent of Marguerite Duras and Henry Miller. She vividly recounts the intense sexual relationship shared with her husband, even as their bond deteriorates, revealing how sex becomes a substitute for true intimacy. The fabric of their marriage—shared moments like morning café au lait, memories of their daughters, and coediting a literary magazine—unravels brutally. The account is unsentimental and unflinching, capturing love's exquisite torture through a spectrum of emotions: rage, disgust, self-pity, hatred, sympathy, and jealousy. Heartbreaking is the impact on their two children, caught in the turmoil as their once-secure home transforms into a battlefield. Ultimately, the narrative explores the risks of great passion, offering a courageous diary of a soul laid bare and the redemptive power of love.
