About the Author:
John Taylor is the author of two previous books, Storming the Magic Kingdom and Circus of Ambition. He has been a senior correspondent for Esquire magazine and, before that, a contributing editor at New York magazine, where he was also the magazine's political columnist. He lives in New York City.
From the Inside Flap:
;We had to help each other bring it to an end. To summon the strength to proceed we would need to reassure each other, to depend on and trust each other. We would have to work together to dissolve the marriage in a way we had never been able to do to sustain it. I saw all this with piercing clarity, and then I thought, But if we are capable of such delicate and complicated collaboration, maybe we should stay together after all."
In Falling: The Story of One Marriage, John Taylor portrays the central human struggle—"the competition between [the] need to keep life interesting, to accept its limits, and to give it value"—that lies at the heart of divorce. Writing with moving eloquence and unflinching honesty, he describes the hopeful beginnings of his marriage, its gradual disintegration, and the "horrifying act of will" needed to bring it to an end. He wrestles with the decision to leave his wife and young daughter, and the life they share
