David Grossman

Opis

An awkward, neurotic seller of rare books writes a desperate letter to a beautiful stranger whom he sees at a class reunion. This simple, lonely attempt at seduction begins a love affair of words between Yair and Miriam - two married, middle-aged adults, dissatisfied with their lives, yearning for a sense of connection that has always eluded them - and reawakens feelings that they thought had passed them by. The correspondence between them unfolds into a dialogue of their most naked confessions to reveal a man whose life has been one of duplicity and a woman who fills her life with distraction to avoid the painful secrets of her past. David Grossman's most passionate work yet, BE MY KNIFE explores the nature and the limits of intimacy.
