SUMMARY:Rick Moody: The Long Accomplishment
DESCRIPTION:Rick Moody discusses his new memoir\, The Long Accomplishment: A Memoir of Hope and Struggle in Matrimony. \nPraise for The Long Accomplishment \n“Touching. . . . In heart-wrenching detail\, Moody . . . weaves in [tales] of hardship. . . . A revealing\, intimate memoir—and a moving love letter.” —Publishers Weekly \n“In unflinching\, diary style . . . Moody balances emotional adversity with poignant digressions. . . . And his clever turns of phrase hint at a sense of wonder . . . recognizing that good fortune seems preordained while transcending tragedy requires something magical\, namely\, the power of love.” —Booklist \nAbout The Long Accomplishment \nRick Moody\, the award-winning author of The Ice Storm\, shares the harrowing true story of the first year of his second marriage—an eventful month-by-month account—in The Long Accomplishment: A Memoir of Struggle and Hope in Matrimony \nAt this story’s start\, Moody\, a recovering alcoholic and sexual compulsive with a history of depression\, is also the divorced father of a beloved little girl and a man in love; his answer to the question “Would you like to be in a committed relationship?” is\, fully and for the first time in his life\, “Yes.” \nAnd so his second marriage begins as he emerges\, humbly and with tender hopes\, from the wreckage of his past\, only to be battered by a stormy sea of external troubles—miscarriages\, the deaths of friends\, and robberies\, just for starters. As Moody has put it\, “this is a story in which a lot of bad luck is the daily fare of the protagonists\, but in which they are also in love.” To Moody’s astonishment\, matrimony turns out to be the site of strength in hard times\, a vessel infinitely tougher and more durable than any boat these two participants would have traveled by alone. Love buoys the couple\, lifting them above their hardships\, and the reader is buoyed along with them.
