Summary:
Part mystery, part elegy, This
Side
of
Sad
begins with an ending: the violent enigma of a man's death. Was it an accident, or did James commit suicide? In the shattering aftermath, his widow, Maslen, questions her own capacity for love and undertakes a painful self-inquiry, examining the history of her heart and tracing the fault lines of her own fragile identity. What emerges is a mesmerizing tour of a woman's complex past, rendered in the associative logic of memory and desire. The author finds poetic complexity in the seeming trivialities of the ordinary. Meditative, philosophical, and confessional, This
Side
of
Sad
is a provocative novel that explores the disintegration of a marriage; the enduring colloquy between the living and the dead; and the meaning we find within the random architecture of despair and joy.
