Аннотация
A bittersweet, darkly comic novel from a lyrical new voice, Love Will Tear Us Apart tells the story of six childhood friends reunited at a wedding where secrets are revealed, hearts are broken, and new meaning is given to the phrase You cant go home again.High school sweethearts Lea and Dan are getting marriedand no ones surprised. After all, theyre both perfectso perfect that their friends cant help but be reminded how screwed up they are in comparison. As an awkward night wears on, and getting wasted is the only way to make it through, a killer soundtrackfrom Madonna to Nirvana, the Geto Boys to the Grateful Deadtakes us back to the first cracks in their friendships, their shaky transitions into adulthood, and the few moments of love and connection that have defined them through the years.By turns a Nick Hornbyesque ode to the way music shapes our memories and an elegy to lost youth in the manner of Bret Easton Ellis, Love Will Tear Us Apart doesnt aim to capture some supposed voice of a new generation but rather tells the story of a generation more comfortable with letting music speak on its behalf.From the Trade Paperback edition.
