Love's labour
Grosz, Stephen, 1952-2025
Book
When it comes to love why do we find things so difficult? Drawing on over forty years of candid and surprising conversations with his patients, Stephen Grosz asks, what gets in the way of our falling in love? And what must we do to stay there? In the intimate space of the consulting room, we meet the woman who can't post her wedding invitations but then, decades later, can't decide whether to get divorced; the friendship group that explodes when an adulterous affair begins; and the man whose partner's death is almost too much to bear. As an analyst, Grosz's unerring ability is to locate what ails the heartsick, through hours of talking and listening. As a writer, he elegantly shows how we can deploy the agonies of love as tools for understanding.
