Full Description
What is the nature of intimacy, of what happens in the space between us? And how do we, as writers, catch or reflect it on the page?' Stacey D'Erasmo's insightful and illuminating study examines the craft and the contradictions of creating relationships, not only between two lovers, but also between friends, family members, acquaintances and enemies in fiction. Referencing works by such writers as Didion, Morrison, Lawrence, Woolf and Maxwell, D'Erasmo explores the craft behind literature's most memorable relationships.'
