Which isn't to say we weren't warned: Waldman opens the novel with a quotation from George Eliot's Romola: "To give a true account of what passes within us, something else is necessary besides sincerity."
It doesn't give a sunny portrait of dating instead, it presents one that is usually bleak. Waldman's debut novel is carefully constructed and observed. and its central character directly addresses the complications of love affairs that are so often glossed over.
For her, there always seemed to be a key element missing from the romantic relationships in these books The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. Adelle Waldman originally set out to write a response to all the novels about young literary men coming to New York.
