Beskrivning
**Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2026**A long-time love, now a crumbling marriage, unfolds in 29 'tangos' of narrative verse.The unnamed narrator - sometimes 'I', sometimes 'the wife' - speaks of the man she calls only 'the husband', illuminating moments that are by turn sensual, erotic, painful and heart-breaking.The Beauty of the Husband is a work that explores these oldest of lyrical subjects - beauty, desire, love, betrayal - with freshness and devastating power, informed by the romanticism of Keats, the wisdom of the classical world and, most importantly, by Carson's own unique sensibility.**ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21st CENTURY**

Recensioner i media

"The most instantly penetrating of contemporary poets... she has great intellectual and emotional knowledge, a vast habitat, to every bit of which she brings powerful perception and a freshness as startling as a loud knock at the door" -- Calvin Bedient New York Times Book Review "Anne Carson, a Canadian, is quite remarkable. She really has captured me. I have been reading her obsessively over the past months. A stunning writer" -- Harold Bloom Paris Review "In every form we find a sly, plainspoken eroticism that is a perfect complement to her sly, plainspoken intellectual ardour... a truly great poet of the 21st century" -- Rebecca Wolff Time Out "She is an exceptionally exciting new voice" -- John Lancaster Daily Telegraph "Carson writes ina language any poet would kill for: sensuous and funny, poignant, musical and tender, brilliantly lighted" -- Ruth Padel New York Times Book Review
