À propos de cette écoute

A searing novel about being a wife, a mother, and an artist, and how marriage makes liars of us all.

'An unflinchingly true and honest depiction of a marriage turning from gold to dust ' – Miranda Cowley Heller, author of The Paper Palace

'A white-hot dissection of the power imbalances in a marriage, and as gripping as you want fiction to be.' – Nick Hornby, author of
High Fidelity

A nuclear family can destroy a woman artist. I’d always known that. But I’d never suspected how easily I’d fall into one anyway.

When Jane, an aspiring writer, meets filmmaker John Bridges, they both want the same things: to be in love, to live a successful, creative life, and to be happy. When they marry, Jane believes she has found everything she was looking for, including – a few years later – all the attendant joys and labors of motherhood. But it’s not long until Jane finds herself subsumed by John’s ambitions, whims, and ego; in short, she becomes a wife.

As Jane’s career flourishes, their marriage starts to falter. Throughout the upheavals of family life, Jane tries to hold it all together. That is, until John leaves her.

Sarah Manguso's Liars is a tour de force of wit and rage, telling the blistering story of a marriage as it burns to the ground, and of a woman rising inexorably from its ashes.

'Painful and brilliant – I loved it' – Elif Batuman

    Commentaires

    A triumph and a revelation . . . the most honest marriage novel I have ever read. Sarah Manguso’s writing is furious, elegant, bitter, tender, frightening, and deeply funny. I loved this book (Claire Dederer, author of Monsters: A Fan's Dilemma)
    I read Liars in one breathless, refuse-to-be-interrupted sitting. I was walloped on every page—by the painful familiarity of the story, by the all-at-onceness of the life described in these pages, by the brilliance of Manguso’s storytelling . . . I’m going to be returning to—and learning from—this book for years (Maggie Smith, New York Times bestselling author of You Could Make This Place Beautiful)
    I was spellbound, entranced by Sarah Manguso’s deceptively simple but fathoms-deep storytelling. There’s an incredible force that underlies this work, propulsive and wild and a little bit scary (Emily Gould, author of Friendship and Perfect Tunes)
    An exquisitely creepy book about one of our most horrifying institutions: marriage. I quickly devoured it and loved it (Myriam Gurba, author of Creep)
    Intimate and fierce, Liars is a portrait of a marriage corroded by creative envy and a searing examination of the cost of literary ambition (Isabel Kaplan)
    Liars is a crime novel. Except the crime is heterosexual marriage. It’s a whodunit and the villain is the patriarchy. . . . A brilliantly paced, gripping novel of love and betrayal (Lyz Lenz, author of This American Ex-Wife)

    You are not crazy. Narcisists make you crazy. And the world should protect victims instead of perceiving them as the problem. Narcisists should never get away with it.
