Now back in print for the first time since 1969, astunning novel about childhood, marriage, and divorce by one of the most interesting minds of the twentieth century.Dream and reality overlap inDivorcing, a book in which divorce is not just a question of a broken marriage but names a rift that runs right through the inner and outer worlds of Sophie Blind, its brilliant but desperate protagonist. Can the rift be mended? Perhaps in the form of a novel, one that goes back from presentday New York to Sophies childhood in preWorld War II Budapest, that revisits the divorce between her Freudian father and her fickle mother, and finds a place for a host of further tensions and contradictions in her present life. The question that hauntsDivorcing, however, is whether any novel can be fleet and bitter and true and light enough to gather up all the darkness of a given life.Susan Taubess startlingly original novel was published in 1969 but largely ignored at the time after the authors tragic early death, it was forgotten. Its republication presents a chance to discover a splintered, glancing, caustic, and lyrical work by a dazzlingly intense and inventive writer.
