Product Information

Readers travel with her through her coming-of-age experiences, such as being shunned and punished for her attraction to other girls. Some readers perhaps will see there hidden, erotic fantasies of the author though I don’t read it that way. While I've heard this book described as "subversive", I'm inclined to say this is the opposite of subversive writing. Spare Brides is the story of four extraordinary women left to pick up the pieces of their lives, in the scarred, dazzling and endlessly fascinating post-First World War era. ir bet kuriuo atveju - man atrodo, kad šitoj srity niekas, net Haneke, nepralenkia, negali pralenkt Elfriede Jelinek.

He feels trapped inside a routine and wants to escape, but he also believes in saving his marriage, and following his marriage counselor, they are trying to revive their happiest memories, and that is when they decide to go to an Adele concert in Rome.I was born in Jerusalem in 1944 and spent my early childhood in many different countries because my father was in the Colonial Service. In both cases, the rapid descents feel just about credible enough to tell us something about the form of vertigo Kundera defined. Slimani doesn't descend to pop psychological 'reasons' for Adele being the way she is - she just is.

With this book she has managed to build a morose, tension-filled masterpiece filled with nuances that add incredible depth to an already deep subject. Her main reason for working as a journalist is that her schedule allows for a lot of excuses and cover-ups for her numerous extramarital sexual exploits. Now freshly translated and ready for Anglophone audiences, Leïla Slimani’s follow-up to Lullaby (which was actually published after this novel) follows Adèle, a wife and mother with an insatiable addiction to sex. Privileged psycho she-beast in a shitty marriage sleeps with half of Paris but the sex is weird and boring and then her husband finds out and then the marriage becomes even shittier, but they stay together anyway and so what?

When she is forced to give up the desires for mere days, she becomes so depressed that she’s almost catatonic.

Aqui, a procura do acto sexual serve como tentativa de romper a solidão, a angústia, a inexistência. Our main character is shown having had a harsh childhood, with a father who complains about lost opportunities and rather not having existed at all, and a mother who thinks her daughter is not good enough for her son in law. Este é, acima de tudo, um livro sobre dor, sobre solidão, sobre uma mulher que não se basta a si mesma, que é metade.Balancing on the verge of exhaustion, she tosses herself from one stranger’s bed to another nightly blow job in some grubby alley, organising her life compulsively around her urge, without however taking pleasure from her acts. They don’t want to be outcasts so they marry, have children, work at respectable careers---YET, this doesn’t mean they are able to quash their secret SELF.
