Story of a Marriage

Story of a marriage
Bok av Geir Gulliksen
'Brilliant and breathtaking...sexy and sad' A.M. HomesIn his struggle to understand what has happened to his family, how his wife could fall in love with another man after twenty happy years, Jon attempts to tell the story of the painful collapse of his marriage, but from her point of view. He tries to get inside her head, to see it all as she did, all the while knowing that he can never really achieve this, and that his efforts reveal more projection than insight. How can one truly know another person? How much of what we think is love, is just a construct? Is it possible to find and maintain the great love we long for? Gulliksen explores these questions, turning them over again and again till they crack, revealing hollowness or possible new meanings.Intense, erotic, dramatic, raw Story of a Marriage examines two people's inner lives with devastating and fearless honesty. It is a gripping but slippery narrative of obsession and deceit, of a couple striving for happiness and freedom and intimacy, but ultimately falling apart.
Av Geir Gulliksens böcker föredrar jag nog hans andra roman, om jag måste välja, men båda är läsvärda.
Hans språk är riktigt bra och beskriver i den här boken väl hur det är att bli lämnad av sitt livs kärlek.
