I No Longer Suffer for Love Author: Lucía Etxebarría Publisher: Casa das Letras Literary Genre: Personal Development Book Condition: Very Good Synopsis An aspirin-like book… to help alleviate heartaches If you have recently experienced a series of emotional tsunamis that have left your self-esteem even lower than Kafka’s—or, conversely, if you have had only one relationship, yet one so filled with arguments and reconciliations that it has made Catullus’s principle your own—namely, “It is impossible to live with you or without you”—then perhaps the fault is not entirely yours. It is highly likely that you confuse love with possession, sex with dependency, manipulation with attention, and intrusion with affection. All it would take is to take seriously what our parents continue to teach us: blend a few drops of the feminine stereotype—tolerance, passivity, and submission—with an equal measure of the masculine stereotype—activity, independence, and dominance—and mix them all together, finally adding a dose of romantic love. You may then better understand why you suffer so much—and so unnecessarily—for love! Drawing upon certain principles from psychoanalysis, psychology, sociology, literature, and the post-feminist revolution—and supplementing them with a dose of autobiography and humor—Lucía Etxebarría undertakes, in this *I No Longer Suffer for Love*, a personal and literary exploration of heartache. This is a book that anyone tired of suffering from love—and for love—must read. In this book, Lucía Etxebarría reveals how she herself ceased to suffer for love—and how, if you wish, you too can do the same. Indeed, she now suffers only when her daughter falls ill...
