In love

Fifty years ago Alfred Hayes was regarded as one of the most interesting and original American novelists, and he deserves to be better known today. In Love is set in the Manhattan bar scene of the forties and reads like a Edward Hopper painting. A middle aged man tells a young woman on an adjacent bar stool the story of his last love affair: a relationship in the thoroughly modern sense, full of misplaced lust and misunderstood emotion. He depicts the boy of his tale as moody and evasive, the girl as even worse. It was a mostly erratic affair, downbeat, dysfunctional and on the brink of s.

  • "New York in den 50er Jahren: Auf einer Party erhält eine junge Frau das unmoralische Angebot eines distinguierten Herrn, gegen Bezahlung mit ihm zu gehen. Sie könnte problemlos ablehnen, lässt sich aber darauf ein und zerstört ihr bisheriges Leben. Erst jetzt wird ihrem Freund, den sie verlässt, bewusst, wie sehr er sie liebt. Das Gefühl, die Chance seines Lebens verpasst zu haben, wird ihn für immer begleiten. Eine beklemmende Liebesgeschichte und der kluge Roman eines bedeutenden Autors aus den USA. Im rauchigen, melancholischen Ton eines Miles-Davis-Stücks erzählt ist "In Love" wie John Williams "Stoner" oder die Romane von Richard Yates, eine beglückende Wiederentdeckung."
  • "Dans les années 1950, des amants désenchantés déambulent dans New York. Lui est un écrivain qui a perdu foi dans sa création, elle est une mère célibataire endettée qui a déjà aimé et a été déçue. Dans un grand restaurant, un riche homme d'affaires lui fait une proposition indécente, elle refuse puis accepte et abandonne son amant. Une peinture de l'amour pris au piège de la modernité.--[Memento]."
  • "New York in the 1950s. A man on a barstool is telling a story about a woman he met in a bar, early married and soon divorced, her child farmed out to her parents, good-looking, if a little past her prime. They'd gone out, they'd grown close, but as far as he was concerned it didn't add up to much. He was a busy man. Then one day, out dancing, she runs into a rich awkward lovelorn businessman. He'll pay for her to be his, pay her a lot. And now the narrator discovers that he is as much in love with her as she is with him, perhaps more, though it will take him a while to realize just how utterly lost he is."
