From the Back Cover
"A remarkable portrait of a man floundering among love, pain; generosity, and rage... [Separation] builds up a momentum, a precision, and a savagery worthy of a Feydeau farce."
-- Los Angeles Times Book Review"A spare, elegant journal of the agony of rejection... with an emotional resonance that goes beyond generation or gender."
-- Washington Post Book World
"An eloquent, bitter poem of loss. Devastating."
-- Josephine Hart, author of Damage

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This is a bittersweet commentary on marriage and morals in the 1990s. It is also the story of one man's obsession - with his wife, the life they lead, and with the children they raise together. It tells of his desire, and his inability to prevent its demise. Ironically, it is also deeply romantic. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
