Mehr zum Buch

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.
