The Beauty Of The Husband is an essay on Keats’s idea that beauty is truth, and isalso the story of a marriage. It is told in 29 tangos. A tango (like a marriage)is something you have to dance to the end.
This clear-eyed, brutal, moving, darklyfunny book tells a single story in an immediate, accessible voice–29 “tangos” ofnarrative verse that take us vividly through erotic, painful, and heartbreaking scenesfrom a long-time marriage that falls apart. Only award-winning poet Anne Carson couldcreate a work that takes on the oldest of lyrical subjects–love–and make it thispowerful, this fresh, this devastating.
