The Pure Lover A Memoir of Grief

The Pure Loveris David Plante's moving response to his life partner's death from brain cancer. Consumed by grief, Plante found memory after memory of his partner of forty years, Nikos Stangos, flooding into his mind, and he began to write them down. Over time, these fragments took on a literary life of their own, evolving into a poignant testament to a remarkable love and a tribute to the survivor's attempt to wrench meaning out of absence.

David Plante has published more than a dozen novels, including The Family, The Woods, and The Country (Beacon / 8379-6 / $13.00 pb), as well as the nonfiction books Difficult Women and American Ghosts (Beacon / 7265-3 / $15.00 pb). His work has appeared in many periodicals, including the New Yorker and Paris Review, and has been nominated for a National Book Award. Plante teaches at Columbia University and lives in New York and London.
