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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.","brand":"Susan Taubes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":47794171543764,"sku":"9781681374949","price":22.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/9208\/files\/BNCImageAPI_b1cd3953-6aea-4bec-88c0-afa17c985aa0.jpg?v=1776182129","url":"https:\/\/penguinshop.ca\/products\/9781681374949","provider":"Penguin Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
