The Woman Destroyed
How dumb (or in denial) can a woman be? Her husband has been having affairs with other women, on and off, for the past 10 years -- putting in all that overtime at work. All her friends know, her grown daughters know, the people her (highly-successful) husband works with know. The woman's husband finally tells her that he stopped loving her 10 years prior, but still likes her, wants her to have [his] dinner on the table in the evening, wants his laundry done -- that is why he kept living with her. He starts to tear the world she built around him (the only world she has allowed herself to know) down... feeding her imagination with well-placed destructive seeds. All his poisonous barbs on her fragile ego are calculated and exact. He knows what he wants, he wants her to give it to him -- her to do the dirty work -- her to cause their break-up. Huh? This is a very good story. Exquisitely written, realistic, existential, stays on track. -- Katharena Eiermann, 2006
