Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
Ironous prose, which will change your view of the nature of the relationship and encourage to be more attentive to its second half.
41-year-old doctor Toby Fleishman thought that he knew everything about her wife-until she left him with children after 15 years of marriage. The deceived husband revels in his unfortunate position. And along the way, he begins to actively and randomly go on dates, but after all, children are on it, so you are not especially walking around.
This story is told by a former journalist Libby, a longtime friend of Toby. We look at the marriage of flashman through the eyes of Libby and see a selfless father, a good husband who suffers from the bad character of his wife.
But is it likely that we are missing something-following such a confident flashman? What if our society, in which women supposedly have a choice and opportunities along with men, does not notice or hear a female voice?
Libby says: if you want to tell the story of a woman, do it through the story of a man. So in this book, through a detailed image of a man, images of women appear - not necessarily “good”, but definitely real ones.
For whom this book
For lovers of high -quality prose on relationships and marriage, the modern role of a woman.
For those who are looking for a mild ironic reading about everyday life.
For fans of Philip Rot and John Apdike.
What, in our opinion, this book
About the modern family, about the fact that we look at each other, but we do not really see.
On the relations of the sexes, sex and, finally, women - or rather, about what we do not see in them.
Prizes
Longlist National Book Award.
The finalist of the National Book Circle’s John Leonard Prize (nomination Best Debut).
The best book of 2019 according to The New York Times, Time, The Washington Post, Vanity Fair, Vogue, Chicago Tribune, GQ and The Guardian
