Joan-Marc s out of work, he s alone, he has a heart condition, his mother s addicted to pills, he can t stand his sister. Otherwise, life is beautiful. And there s a lot that his estranged second wife doesn t know about him. But in Divorce is in the Air he now sets out to tell her. He begins with the failure of his first marriage, describing a holiday taken in a last-ditch attempt to salvage a once passionate relationship. Recalling this ill-fated trip triggers a life-story s worth of flashbacks. From pivotal childhood scenes his earliest sexual encounters, his father s suicide he moves on through the years, hopscotching between Barcelona and Madrid, describing a life of indulgence and of appetites. The result is an unapologetic, daring, acerbic novel by an electrifying young writer about love and the end of love, and how hard it can be to let go.
