Knopf, $c 2016. 300 $a 301 pages ; $c 25 cm 520 $a "The American debut of a highly acclaimed young Spanish writer: a darkly funny, acerbic novel about love -- and the end of love -- and how hard it can be to let go. There's a lot about Joan-Marc that his estranged second wife doesn't know -- but which he now sets out to tell her. He begins with the failure of his first marriage to an American woman named Helen, describing a vacation they took in a last-ditch attempt to salvage their once-passionate romance. The recollection of this il--fated trip triggers in him a series of flashbacks through which he narrates his life story, hopscotching between Barcelona and Madrid. Starting from pivotal moments in his childhood -- his earliest sexual encounters, his father's suicide, his mother's emotional decline--he moves through the years to the origin of his relationship with Helen and the circumstances surrounding its deterioration. The result is a provocative exploration of memory, nostalgia, romance, the ways in which the past takes hold-- a powerful portrait of a man struggling with his illusions about life and love"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Divorced men $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Life change events $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Memory $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Hallucinations and illusions $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Barcelona (Spain) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Madrid (Spain) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Psychological fiction. 650 0 $a Love stories. 700 1 $a McDowell, Megan, $e translator. 776 08 $i Online version: $a TorneÌ de la Guardia, Gonzalo, 1976- $t Divorce is in the air $b First edition. $d New York, New York : Knopf, 2016 $z 9780385354035 $w (DLC) 2016022496 941 $a 4 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231017015018.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200806025200.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204083802.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110065702.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C592A586650B11E6BA021E8ADAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
