Description
Dept. of Speculation is a portrait of a marriage, a deeply personal exploration of the complexities of intimacy and trust. The wife's thoughts on love, family, and the fragility of life are woven together with a keen eye for the absurdities and contradictions of modern life.
As she navigates the challenges of a faltering marriage, the wife draws on a wide range of influences, from literature to philosophy, to make sense of her predicament. With cool precision, Jenny Offill crafts a suspenseful and deeply human story that is both lean and compact, yet packed with emotional insight.
This is a book that can be read in a single sitting, but its themes and emotions will linger long after you finish reading. Dept. of Speculation is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, one that will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled to make sense of love, life, and the world around them.
