Michael Winter's brilliant fictional memoir depicts one man's descent from love to fury over a calendar year. The narrative follows Gabriel English through a journal-à-clef that exposes the kernel of truth in each day. Presented as a fast-paced filmic compilation of daily vignettes spanning one year, the work shows how Gabriel's early promises and actions have repercussions by year's end. Gabriel's intense passion for Lydia Murphy generates jealousy and emotional turbulence, yet he maintains his shrewdly witty perspective on the complexities of contemporary romance throughout his journey. source
