Monogamy

Synopsis

A provocative collection of meditations on coupledom and its discontents that is "playful, brilliant. Profound. Keeps us faithful to the last page" (the new york observer)—from the witty psychoanalyst and author of on kissing, tickling, and being bored. Adam phillips manages to unsettle one of our most dearly held ideals, that of the monogamous couple, by speculating upon the impulses that most threaten it—boredom, desire, and the tempting idea that erotic fulfillment might lie elsewhere.
