In Love: Penguin Modern Classics

Autor Alfred Hayes
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 ian 2017
Hayes's masterpiece is an exquisite depiction of a doomed love affair set in noirish, 1950s New York.

In a Manhattan bar, a middle-aged man tells a pretty girl a story: of how he fell into a relationship with a lonely young divorcee; of how one night she was offered a thousand dollars to sleep with a stranger; and of how he and she would subsequently betray each other in turn. In Alfred Hayes's exquisite novella, love - in all its bewildering turns of longing, elation, heartbreak and regret - is dissected with unforgettable honesty and heartbreaking clarity.

Recenzii

A small masterpiece ... Compelling and flawless ... A gem
A little masterpiece
Hayes has done for bruised men what Jean Rhys does for bruised women, and they both write heartbreakingly beautiful sentences
Moving and convincing ... a lyrical, intelligent book
Besides being a technicaltour de force,In Loveis literature; it is a work of art
I have read and reread this small book as though it werea poem rather than a fiction: not a description of experience but the thing itself
