Beginning-and ending-at a point shortly before her death, the story told in The Limit draws upon her past and his future to focus attention, with increasing intensity, along the lines of narrowing perspective. In each chapter, dying becomes an appraisal of memory, a confession, perhaps, of secrets shred and not shared. In the ten years of the couple's marriage, the limits of devotion had somehow to be reached. And yet, when Anna can no longer speak, appears to understand nothing, Ilario feels at his closest to her: Anna, so old, ill, and wasted, is a child again. The Limit, inevitably, is not about dying, but living. To read it is to have one's perception and humanity heightened"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Husband and wife $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Death $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Griffiths, Paul, $d 1947 November 24- $e writer of introduction. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Belben, Rosalind, 1941- $t Limit $d New York : New York Review Books, 2023 $z 9781681377537 $w (DLC) 2023012387 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240502013011.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A33EFB7AF17F11EE82DF7F7D41ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
