About This Item
New York. 1999. January 1999. Knopf. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0375402721. 216 pages. hardcover. Jacket photograph by Mary Javorek. keywords: Literature Scotland Women. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Helen Brindle thinks she has lost God - but it is simply love that she's missing. She certainly can't find it at home, with the violent, deadly Mr. Brindle: trapped in an abusive marriage, tormented by existential and personal doubt, she suffers from insomnia, emotional paralysis, and pathological inhibition. Until she meets Edward E. Gluck. Edward Gluck is a public personality, a renowned genius and group mental healer, guru to people like Helen through his famous self-help process; privately, he is painfully obsessed with masturbation and self-punishment, unable to employ his own fatuous self-help techniques to overcome his personal disgust and psychological anemia. ORIGINAL BLISS tells the story of an excruciatingly awkward courtship between two soul-sick people - the one brutally shy, the other an exhibitionist - searching for a way to break out of their isolation. By turns acerbic and tender, and with remarkable economy and precision, A. L. Kennedy writes about the attempt to close emotional distances and fill physical voids, and the aching need for completion and healing. inventory #26362 ISBN: 0375402721.
