in love

A story is told orally in a hotel bar, between two strangers - an unknown man and an unknown woman - in the afternoon, in New York City in the early fifties. "Maohav" is one of these rare cases: a one-of-a-kind work by a writer who was completely forgotten, and is rediscovered fifty years later in the archives of the English publishing house "Peter Owen". Then, soon, the book is translated into many languages and is revived. A seemingly simple book, a love story told in the voice of a man in love, lonely, lost in the maze of his falling in love with a woman, also in love. Urban background, tension, pain, mystery, deals, jealousy. The book is getting more and more intense, the breaths shorten with the heartbeats. The secret of the magic of "In Love" comes from its precise melody, from the very personal wording of the content, as if we were trapped inside a Thelonious Monk work or a Rossellini or Samuel Fuller film. "Nine Souls" invites you to meet a writer who shines a literary light on those who meet him. "A little masterpiece." (Elizabeth Bowen, the famous Irish-English writer) "Only rarely have I seen such a vivid and vivid description of the disintegration of a relationship, like this, with all the petty and banal details that accompany it. This is a painful, fresh, incredibly beautiful book that will stay with you. " (Zaidi, A. Stein)
