A Fictional Essay in 29 Tangos

Sinopsis

The Beauty Of The Husband is an essay on Keats's idea that beauty is truth, and is also the story of a marriage. It is told in 29 tangos. A tango (like a marriage) is something you have to dance to the end. This clear-eyed, brutal, moving, darkly funny book tells a single story in an immediate, accessible voice-29 "tangos" of narrative verse that take us vividly through erotic, painful, and heartbreaking scenes from a long-time marriage that falls apart. Only award-winning poet Anne Carson could create a work that takes on the oldest of lyrical subjects-love-and make it this powerful, this fresh, this devastating.

    Decreación, publicado originalmente en 2005, es uno de los libros centrales de la escritora canadiense Anne Carson.

Pero ¿cómo podemos disolver el yo sin movernos a través de él, sin llegar al centro mismo de su...
