I Loved You More

By Tom Spanbauer

Book Overview

For fans of The Marriage Plot and Freedom, I Loved You More is a rich, expansive tale of love, sex, and heartbreak from the late great Tom Spanbauer

At the heart of Tom Spanbauer's novel is a love triangle: two men, one woman. In New York, Ben forms a bond of love with his macho friend and foil, Hank. Years later in Portland, a now ill Ben falls for Ruth, who provides the care and devotion he needs, though they cannot find true happiness together--and as Ben has found out with Hank, loving has its limits. Then Hank reappears and meets Ruth, and real trouble starts.

Set against a world of writers and artists; New York's Lower East Side in the wild 1980s; the drab, confining Idaho of Ben's youth; Portland in his middle age; and many places in between, the complex world revealed in I Loved You More--written in the poisoned, lyrical voice of Ben--is the author's most complex and wise novel to date.
