Imaginați-vă o femeie într-un oraș mic din Indiana, stând în fața unui tribunal, transformată peste noapte într-un paria pentru că a căutat înțelegere în brațele unui profesor. Această scenă, extrasă din realitatea crudă a lui Maggie, nu este doar un fragment de biografie, ci o piesă dintr-un mozaic al dorinței feminine care a definit discursul public al ultimilor ani. Apreciem Three Women nu doar ca pe un succes editorial internațional, ci ca pe o moștenire culturală necesară; este o lucrare care a spart tăcerea asupra modului în care femeile iubesc, suferă și sunt judecate în spatele ușilor închise. Observăm cum Lisa Taddeo a dedicat aproape un deceniu pentru a transcrie, cu o precizie chirurgicală, anatomia nevoilor umane prin poveștile Linei, lui Maggie și Sloane. Abordarea sa jurnalistică, bazată pe o imersiune totală în viața subiecților, evocă structura de documentar social din Want de Gillian Anderson, dar perspectiva lui Taddeo diferă prin refuzul de a rămâne la nivel de fantezie anonimă, alegând în schimb să expună consecințele devastatoare ale dorinței în viața de zi cu zi. Remarcăm un ritm narativ care pulsează de o tensiune aproape insuportabilă, transformând non-ficțiunea într-o experiență la fel de captivantă ca un roman polițist. În contextul operei sale, această carte reprezintă pilonul central care anunță temele explorate ulterior în Animal sau în proza scurtă din Ghost Lover. Dacă în lucrările sale de ficțiune Taddeo explorează furia și trauma prin personaje precum Joan, aici ea ancorează aceste emoții în fapte brute, oferind o hartă a dorinței care este, în egală măsură, intimă și universală.

Descriere scurtă

"Extraordinary...A nonfiction literary masterpiece...I can't remember the last time a book affected me as profoundly as Three Women." --Elizabeth Gilbert "This is one of the most riveting, assured, and scorchingly original debuts I've ever read." --Dave Eggers " An] instant feminist classic...Utterly engrossing...Game-changing." --O, The Oprah Magazine Desire as we've never seen it before: a riveting true story about the sex lives of three real American women, based on nearly a decade of reporting. It thrills us and torments us. It controls our thoughts, destroys our lives, and it's all we live for. Yet we almost never speak of it. And as a buried force in our lives, desire remains largely unexplored--until now. Over the past eight years, journalist Lisa Taddeo has driven across the country six times to embed herself with ordinary women from different regions and backgrounds. The result, Three Women, is the deepest nonfiction portrait of desire ever written and one of the most anticipated books of the year. We begin in suburban Indiana with Lina, a homemaker and mother of two whose marriage, after a decade, has lost its passion. She passes her days cooking and cleaning for a man who refuses to kiss her on the mouth, protesting that "the sensation offends" him. To Lina's horror, even her marriage counselor says her husband's position is valid. Starved for affection, Lina battles daily panic attacks. When she reconnects with an old flame through social media, she embarks on an affair that quickly becomes all-consuming. In North Dakota we meet Maggie, a seventeen-year-old high school student who finds a confidant in her handsome, married English teacher. By Maggie's account, supportive nightly texts and phone calls evolve into a clandestine physical relationship, with plans to skip school on her eighteenth birthday and make love all day; instead, he breaks up with her on the morning he turns thirty. A few years later, Maggie has no degree, no career, and no dreams to live for. When she learns that this man has been named North Dakota's Teacher of the Year, she steps forward with her story--and is met with disbelief by former schoolmates and the jury that hears her case. The trial will turn their quiet community upside down. Finally, in an exclusive enclave of the Northeast, we meet Sloane--a gorgeous, successful, and refined restaurant owner--who is happily married to a man who likes to watch her have sex with other men and women. He picks out partners for her alone or for a threesome, and she ensures that everyone's needs are satisfied. For years, Sloane has been asking herself where her husband's desire ends and hers begins. One day, they invite a new man into their bed--but he brings a secret with him that will finally force Sloane to confront the uneven power dynamics that fuel their lifestyle. Based on years of immersive reporting, and told with astonishing frankness and immediacy, Three Women is a groundbreaking portrait of erotic longing in today's America, exposing the fragility, complexity, and inequality of female desire with unprecedented depth and emotional power. It is both a feat of journalism and a triumph of storytelling, brimming with nuance and empathy, that introduces us to three unforgettable women--and one remarkable writer--whose experiences remind us that we are not alone.

Recenzii

The most important book I've read this decade, and possibly ever
My best book of the year so far. And probably next year's too
Controversial, detailed, spellbinding, upsetting, true and compelling in equal measure
Painful and beautiful, gutting and sexy. I don't think I've read a book that has captivated me as intensely as this one, which I still think about, months later, in the quietest hours of the night
A book with the thrill of the new that you can expect to dominate WhatsApp threads, line Tube carriages and pop up in foreign Airbnbs for years to come
The biggest debut of the year . . . Groundbreaking
Captures the pain and powerlessness of desire as well as its heady joys
For anyone who thinks they know what women want, this book is an alarm, and its volume is turned all the way up
This book wrecked me, in a good way
Whether you are a man curious to know how the woman in your life thinks and feels, or a woman who longs to hear someone articulate the thoughts you've never even admitted to yourself, Three Women should be on your bedside table
This book wrecked me, in a good way
