A romantic comedy which opens with Robert in his 30s and unhappily married to the shrewish Deborah, the epitome of ennui. He looks back to the days of his lost love, Eva, and to when he was introduced to existentialist literature and modelled his life on the alienated hero of Sartre's Nausea.
It is unbelievable that Wilson's amazing and moving novel is out of print. I just think this is one of the most profound, intelligent, and in-memory-lasting pieces of work. Love and Nause is the kind of book any writer (among which I am) would like to produce. J. Krumec
