Mi marido

One of the great phenomena of recent European literature. A sharp analysis of married life in which the couple's intimacy is exposed. Eleven stories that dissect the devastating of patriarchy with mocking laconism and caustic insight.A talentless poet, a gynecologist with the air of an artist, an oppressive father, an impotent couple, a dead man... And his women. Eleven narrators who become the hidden camera of their marriages, who reflect with ruthless irony on their husbands, on themselves and on that debatable decision they have made to wait for death to part them. With devastating psychological precision, the author unearths the grotesque in the everyday and casts her strobe light on the mysteries of life as a couple. Self-deception, vanity, hypocrisy, dreams and hopes, reluctance and defeat form and distort complex relationships in which the most hilarious and terrible face of gender roles and their social impact is shown. Buzarovska breaks down who we are and who we want to be in a first-person analysis of married life that straddles the boundaries between parody and tragedy.
