Can the rift be mended? Perhaps in the form of a novel, one that goes back from present-day New York to Sophie's childhood in pre-World 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 haunts \u003ci\u003eDivorcing\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSusan Taubes's startlingly original novel was published in 1969 but largely ignored at the time; after the author's 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/27\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681374949\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Susan Taubes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38027355848885,"sku":"9781681374949","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_76e88578-bfa9-4ea2-9b5f-786447327057.jpg?v=1609192696","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/divorcing-9781681374949","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
