Produktbeschreibung
A provocative meditation on sex, power, and the long shadow of the sexual revolution. In the heat-soaked summer of 1970, twenty-year-old Keith Nearing, a literature-obsessed student, navigates the confusing new freedoms of love and lust during a holiday in an Italian castle. Surrounded by beautiful women, political awakenings, and shifting gender roles, Keith becomes both participant in and bewildered observer of a cultural revolution whose consequences he-and the novel-are still reckoning with decades later. With his characteristic wit, Martin Amis examines the personal fallout of social upheaval, casting a retrospective eye on a moment when liberation promised everything and delivered something far more complicated. The Pregnant Widow is a novel about the unfinished business of the twentieth century-a reckoning with the promises of feminism, the delusions of youth, and the way history embeds itself in the body.
