Synopsis
What becomes of the broken-hearted? An acclaimed poet and literary essayist's first novel is an exquisite, moving, erotic investigation of love and its painful corollary
In Craig Raine's startlingly moving, intellectually nimble, sexually candid, wickedly funny first novel, the central character is not a person, but an invisible metaphor: heartbreak. Through the stories of a virtuoso cast of characters—among them a physically scarred academic, a strangely beautiful young girl with Down's syndrome, a world-renowned actress, and a brilliant Czech poet—the book investigates one of the most elusive yet deeply felt of human conditions. It is a compassionate and textured novel about what happens to us when love and loss collide.

Review
"Craig Raine is incapable of a dull thought." —Ian McEwan
"By turns erudite, irreverent, playful." —Guardian
"Tender, ludic and intelligent. . . . The poet Craig Raine is also now the novelist Craig Raine. A magnificent, enigmatic coda rounds off Heartbreak in the prose-poetry of both." —Literary Review
