Über diesen Titel

The 30th Anniversary Edition of this classic memoir includes a new introduction by the author.

A heartbreaking and hilarious memoir by the longtime All Things Considered commentator charts the trajectory of a marriage so impossible that it became inevitable.

"Gritty, funny, moving, horrific, outrageous—and, above all, fearlessly honest.... ultimately a joyous story." —Newsday


When Marion Winik fell in love with Tony Heubach during a wild Mardi Gras in New Orleans, her friends shook their heads. For starters, she was straight and he was gay. But Marion and Tony's impossible love turned out to be true enough to produce a marriage and two beautiful sons, true enough to weather drug addiction, sexual betrayal, and the AIDS that would kill Tony at the age of thirty-seven, twelve years after they met.

Kritikerstimmen

A New York Times Notable Book of the Year

"Gritty, funny, moving, horrific, outrageous—and, above all, fearlessly honest.... ultimately a joyous story." —Newsday

Decidedly unfaint-hearted... Marion Winik is resilient, hardy, unfazable; this self-described suburban wannabe is a frontier woman in disguise." —The New York Times Book Review

"A true story stripped of fine writing or cheap analysis.... I won't be the only reader who can't put it down." —San Francisco Chronicle

"Beautiful ... intense and intimate." —Washington Post Book World
