<b><b>Now back in print for the first time since 1969, a</b> stunning novel about childhood, marriage, and divorce by one of the most interesting minds of the twentieth century.</b><br><br>Dream and reality overlap in <i>Divorcing</i>, a book in which divorce is not just a question of a broken marriage but names a rift that runs right through the inner and outer worlds of Sophie Blind, its brilliant but desperate protagonist. Can the rift be mended? Perhaps in the form of a novel, one that goes back from present-day New York to Sophie’s childhood in pre–World War II Budapest, that revisits the divorce between her Freudian father and her fickle mother, and finds a place for a host of further tensions and contradictions in her present life. The question that haunts <i>Divorcing</i>, however, is whether any novel can be fleet and bitter and true and light enough to gather up all the darkness of a given life.<br><br>Susan Taubes’s startlingly original novel
