"A feast for the mind." —PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY "A contemporary voice with the ease of Natalia Ginzburg's or Irene Nemirovsky's." —GUADALUPE NETTEL, author of Still Born "Nuanced, deeply rich, and a joy to read." —CHARLOTTE FOX-WEBER, author of What We Want In the twenty-first century, our romantic ambitions are intrepid... We want egalitarian and honest bonds, and we are eager to understand what that means. We also want to fall in love, to have sex, and to be loved; we want stability and adrenaline—the lifeboat and the open sea—, we want everything at the same time.

Am I a cynic if I give up on it? Born and raised in an Orthodox Jewish community in the heart of Buenos Aires, Tenenbaum learned about the sexual and emotional habits of the secular world like an anthropologist discovering an unknown civilisation.
