The List is an irreverent, sophisticated take on the classic breakup story. In fierce and exquisite prose, Tara Ison has written an astonishing story of love and hate. Isabel is finishing medical school and destined to become a brilliant heart surgeon. Al is a video store clerk, a one-hit-wonder director whose first and only film became a cult classic. Their electric, passionate, and deeply maddening relationship can't possibly work. Tired of endlessly coming together and breaking up, they make a list of ten things to do before they finally say good-bye. But after a few perfect dates the list takes a dark turn, and their plan spirals out of control as they realize they would rather destroy each other than let go.
"Isabel, an aspiring medical student, and Al, a failed movie director working as a video store clerk, fall into an on-again, off-again sex-driven relationship that they decide to end for good by making a list of ten things they always meant to do together and checking them off, but at the end of the list they are still not ready to call it quits and their good intentions degenerate into an excuse for increasingly violent revenge."
