In Love (New York Review Books Classics)

In Love (New York Review Books Classics)

New York in the 1950s. A man on a barstool is telling a story about a woman he met in a bar, early married and soon divorced, her child farmed out to her parents, good-looking, if a little past her prime. Theyâ€™d gone out, theyâ€™d grown close, but as far as he was concerned it didnâ€™t add up to much. He was a busy man. Then one day, out dancing, she runs into a rich awkward lovelorn businessman. Heâ€™ll pay for her to be his, pay her a lot. And now the narrator discovers that he is as much in love with her as she is with him, perhaps more, though it will take him a while to realize just how utterly lost he is.

Executed with the cool smoky brilliance of a classic Miles Davis track, In Love is an unequaled exploration of the tetheredâ€”and untetheredâ€”heart.
