Alfred Hayes 
In Love [EPUB ebook] 

An exquisite depiction of a doomed love affair, set in noirish 1950s New York
__________
‘A little masterpiece’ Elizabeth Bowen
‘Moving and convincing … a lyrical, intelligent book’ Guardian
‘My favorite of the Hayes novels… I have read and reread this small book as though it were a poem rather than a fiction: not a description of experience but the thing itself’ Vivian Gornick, New York Review of Books
__________
In a Manhattan bar, a middle-aged man tells a young woman of his love affair with a lonely divorcee; of how one night she was offered one thousand dollars to sleep with a stranger; and of how he and she would subsequently betray each other in turn. In Love is an indictment of, and an elegy to, a love affair that was doomed from the start; an exquisitely honest and painful depiction of heartbreak.
