Description
• A fifty-year journey through love, desire, and transformation that balances storytelling with philosophical inquiry and cultural analysis
• Offers a male perspective on sexuality, marriage, and emotional vulnerability, with contributions from the author’s wife to deepen the relational narrative
• Draws on craniosacral therapy, t’ai chi ch’uan, and psychic work to examine how relationships reflect the deeper forces that shape identity and consciousness
In this deeply personal narrative, Richard Grossinger documents sixty years of his relationship with poet Lindy Hough, tracing the arc of their partnership from youthful idealism through the alchemical transformations of marriage, parenthood, infidelity, and aging. Exploring the forces that shape intimacy and drawing on decades of esoteric and psychological study, Grossinger explores the archetypes of love and transformation that emerge and evolve in long-term partnerships.
Written primarily from a male perspective, the nonfiction novel explores male sexuality and fantasy. The author shares meditations on marriage as a spiritual crucible, reflecting deeply on the libidinal forces that animate human experience. A chapter by Hough, along with her editorial interventions throughout, offers a female counter-voice to complement the narrative and enrich the relational dynamic that underpins the story.
In exploring the paradoxes of eros and the long shadow of desire, Episodes in Disguise of a Marriage presents the inner logic of love and the psychosexual depth of creation.
