Tri

One man, two women: the novel follows two very different relationships a man keeps up at the same time, full of love and torment, jealousy and tenderness, obsession and tolerance, the pull of infidelity and of loyalty. Voyeurism, exhibitionism and perversion recur from beginning to end, and the book stays so close to the three of them that nothing else seems to exist. From this seemingly simple love triangle, told in a confessional, quasi-autobiographical voice, it builds a self-aware structure that keeps shifting between levels of narration, and two cycles of poems, Hana's and Sandra's, go back over the events and change how they look, without moralising about adultery.
