Imagine a bookish man named Francis D., swimming at a public beach in Cape Cod, who drifts out beyond his depth. Imagine that he doesn''t drown, that the tide carries him to a private cove where he is rescued by two mysterious young women named Charlotte and Emily. Imagine then that Francis leaves behind his former humdrum life-his formidable wife and teenage daughter-and embarks on a series of violent and erotic adventures, as dream-like as reels of film. Imagine at the same time that a man named Joshua Quartz is telling his silent wife, Genevieve, the story of Francis''s adventures, that they have little other communication, that the story is a way of keeping contact between husband and wife alive. Imagine that at some point Genevieve tells her own story, within and without Joshua''s account. Baumbach''s characters make occasional connections, make love and war, in the disguises of metaphor. If the main action is dream-like or fantastic, the real world is always at the window looking in. - E-bokEngelska, 2013

"No one is smarter or funnier about the absurdities and agonies of modern love. Reading You is an affair to relish and remember."—Hilda Wolitzer
With each new novel, Jonathan Baumbach nudges the parameters of the novel—this time his narrator remembers, or invents, or imagines, the life of a not easily defined woman known only as You. It''s another great look at the idea of love and the many various holds it can take.
Jonathan Baumbach is the author of fourteen books of fiction, and has also published over ninety stories in such places as Esquire and Boulevard.

A staple in the literary scene for over forty years, Jonathan Baumbach''s latest novel, Dreams of Molly, is a wonderful addition to his oeuvre. A love story as only Baumbach can write, it is filled with the longings and lingerings, the sex and deprivation, the humor and heartache, and the New York nuances that have driven Baumbach''s fiction from the start.
Jonathan Baumbach is the author of fourteen books of fiction, including You, or The Invention of Memory; On The Way To My Father''s Funeral: New and Selected Stories; B, A Novel; D-Tours; Separate Hours; Chez Charlotte and Emily; The Life and Times of Major Fiction; Reruns; Babble; and A Man to Conjure With. He has also published over ninety stories published in such places as Esquire, Open City, and Boulevard.
Baumbach, co-founder of The Fiction Collective in 1973, the first fiction writers cooperative in America (it was reinvented as FC2 in 1988), has seen his work widely praised. His short stories have been anthologized in Best American Short Stories, The PEN / O.Henry Prize, and The Best of Tri Quarterly. The New York Times Book Review referred to him in 2004 as "an underappreciated writer." He employs a masterfully dispassionate, fiercely intelligent narrative voice whose seeming objectivity is always a faltering front for secret passion and despair."

Makarna Tipton har till synes allt. De är båda framgångsrika psykoanalytiker och bor i ett elegant hus på Upper West Side på Manhattan tillsammans med sin 10-åriga dotter. Bland vänner och bekanta förkroppsligar paret Tipton bilden av ett lyckligt äktenskap. Separationen är en roman om ett äktenskap som går i kras. I alternerande kapitel får vi höra makarnas respektive versioner av deras äktenskapliga sönderfall. Ytterst är Separationen en berättelse om oförmågan att kommunicera, om hur kärlek kan slå över i förakt, om självbedrägeri och flykt.
