While sitting on a French terrace overlooking a
three-hundred-year-old olive grove at sunset, a man listens as his
wife confesses her love for someone else. Preparing to leave after
twenty years of marriage, she details her erotic and emotional
life, a confession that leaves her husband spent but delirious with
love for her. The imminent loss of the passion of his life leads
him to experience the power of desire, grief, and flushed
obsession--and thus begins this riveting monologue at the end of a
marriage, one that is mesmerizing with anger and regret. Entirely
alive in these intense moments, the husband examines every
experience, every feeling that floods his mind with grief and
anticipation. And this need, this experience, becomes one of
absolute truth, as the story itself becomes composed of
complicating love and loss. Negative Space joins Steiner's earlier
fictions--such as Bathers, Dread, and The Catastrophe--in evoking
the dark texture and brilliant detail of erotic loss. The result is
an exploration of heartbreak and sexual obsession the reader will
not soon forget.
