Married Life by David Vogel

Married Life by David Vogel

Between the ages of 15 and 25, the brain changes in important and oftentimes maddening ways. It's no wonder that many parents approach their child's adolescence with fear and trepidation. This book illuminates how brain development impacts teenagers' behavior and relationships.

‘Its sharp observations about courtship, human folly, and married life, delivered with fluid intensity, still resonate.. Shot through with farce and droll humour, this is a coutionart tragic tle about who not to marry.’

* Herald Sun *

‘Both extremely beautiful and troubling … A great book in the manner of Kafka.’

* Le Monde *

‘Vogel maintains a masterful balance between convincingly random confusion and subtle symbolic resonance, in which the early Freudian influence is unmistakable … Married Life is merciless in its depiction of a bleak world in which fate is both arbitrary and supremely malign.’

* Los Angeles Times *

‘This is an important novel … The complex atmosphere of Viennese culture between the wars is conveyed marvellously … A work of literature that echoes both Kafka and Mann.’

* Publishers Weekly *

David Vogel was born in 1891 in Satanov, Podolia (now Ukraine), and when World War I broke out he was living in Vienna, where he was arrested as an enemy alien. He emigrated to Tel Aviv in 1929, but left for Berlin after a year, and later settled in Paris. After the outbreak of World War II, he was imprisoned by the French as an Austrian citizen, and later by the Nazis as a Jew. In 1944, he was deported to Auschwitz, where he perished.
