Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The setting is a New York apartment where two long-estranged lovers try to resuscitate their passion. Kay is old enough to be skeptical about menthis man in particularbut still alert to the possibility of true love. Benjamin is a filmmaker with an appealing waywardness and a conveniently disappearing fiancee. As the two lie entwined in bed, Susan Minot ushers readers across an entire landscape of memory and sensation to reveal the infinite nuances of sex: its power to exalt and deceive, to connect two separate selves or make them fully aware of their solitude. Honest and unflinching, the result is a hypnotic reading experience. Minot's audacious new novel builds on the achievement of "Monkeys" and the bestselling "Evening" to explore the multiple nuances of a single sexual act. Honest and unflinching, the result is a hypnotic reading experience. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9780375727887
