Falling in love, the experience of beauty, memory, longing, and the creative impulse for good and evil—these elements comprise the romantic.
In this darkly comic tale, Romance of Romance, the psychiatrist-author brings them all to life. We enter a world both unimagined and familiar, with newly-minted characters, predicaments, even aspects of language itself. The novel is entertaining, engrossing, and ultimately profound. The main character, a successful and bored romance writer, is suddenly thrust into an emotional tailspin which leads to adventures worthy of Don Quixote and a dramatic and satisfying conclusion. |
