Charming, great writing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Philip Lopate is a fantastic writer. These two stories are quite different from each other. The first one is hilarious and escalates into fabulous madness. The second, wonderfully observed, is strangely disturbing. This book really delivers.
Skillfully written prose, thoughtful, introspective
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Two Marriages juxtaposes two different relationships and consists of two novellas. The author has an exquisite ability to descibe the interior landscape of his protagonists. Within each novella, they describe internal conflict, anger, confusion, regret, doubt, and so on. I like that fact that two novellas are juxtaposed within one book. Thoughtfully written, definitely recommended.
