Book Synopsis
An unconventional take on the oldest convention.

Trade Review
Kristeva's and Sollers' shared love of literature and interpretation, their appreciation of each others' work is evident throughout this volume. These play a very real part in their fine art of marriage. As they explore its lineaments, they also share their deep knowledge of psychoanalysis and literature with us. -- Lisa Appignanesi, author of All About Love and Trials of Passion [Kristeva & Sollers's] performance, so smart, so practiced, is genuinely entertaining, enacted, as it is, by two people who are openly energized by showing off to and for one another. Their mutual enjoyment, as they go through their paces, is palpable. Clearly, intellectual busking is the glue that binds Kristeva and Sollers to one another. -- Vivian Gornick New Republic A fascinating book. -- Shahidha Bari Times Higher Education
