Description: T., an acclaimed but ageing actor, and Efina, a passionate theater-goer, are engaged in an obsessive love affair that careens from attraction to repulsion. They compulsively write letters--often to express their intense dislike of one another--which are sent or unsent, answered or unanswered. They meet, they break up, they marry, and they get divorced. They neither can live with nor without one another, and this impossible state of affairs lasts all their lives. In-between, there are other men and many other women, but throughout, the magic of the theater and the art of make-believe endure.
Notes: Novel.
