An American Romance,
originally published in 1960 by Simon and Schuster, was Hans Koning’s
second novel. Its story is about love and marriage—and the devastating
difference between them. Two attractive young people marry within three
weeks of their first meeting, and their early days are spent in
isolated, intense excitement.
For Philip, Ann is
miraculous, the woman of his dreams. But he, like many of his time and
place, has not learned to live with fulfillment. Happiness to him lies
in its pursuit; there is no place for Tristan and Isolde in a two-room
apartment. What happens to Philip and Ann in a haunting novel that looks
deep into the natures of men and women.
Here is the dichotomy of male
and female caught in the intimate transcript of one couple’s progress
in and out of love.
