בוקר אחד, באמצע החיים, מתעוררת נעמה נוימן למציאות חדשה. בעלה, אדם בריא ונמרץ, מדריך טיולים, מודיע לה שאינו יכול לקום מן המיטה. למן הפתיחה הזאת, המזכירה את פתיחת "הגלגול" של קפקא, נפרשת לעינינו פרשת היחסים בין אודי, הגבר ש"השבית" את עצמו, לבין אשתו, המנסה להתמודד עם הקרע בחיי הנישואים. במהלך העלילה, שמתקדמת בשינויי קצב מהירים בהתאם לאופיה של המספרת, נעמה, הנעה ללא הרף בין תחושת אובדן מוחלטת להרגשה שמצאה קרקע יציבה, אנו מתוודעים באורח אינטימי לחיי הזוגיות של נעמה ואודי, ודרכם, כמו באמצעות מראה מגדילה, מלוטשת וממורקת להפליא, לחיי הזוגיות של כולנו. "בעל ואישה" הוא רומן מופת על חיי הנישואים.

Amane strives to get away from what she considers an indoctrination in this strange “system” by her mother, but her infatuations with both anime characters and real people have a sexual force that is undeniable.

DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. Un scriitor (întâmplător sau nu, având același nume cu autorul) duce o existență cât se poate de mulțumitoare: singurul conflict autentic din viața lui, după cum ne anunță chiar de la început, este încăpățânarea de a scrie, când, după toate aparențele, nu are de ce. În lipsă de alte frământări, observă în tihnă lumea din jur și începe să ne povestească pe un ton firesc lucruri banale care i se întâmplă, în cartier și prin împrejurimi: o vizită la o clinică de gastroenterologie, prezentarea unor cursuri de scriere creativă la o librărie sau un drum la frizer.

Jack was never “right,” but that’s a lot of what made him magnetic to other people. When he was younger, he was that guy that girls wanted to be around. People were drawn in by him, even later on when there wasn’t much of him left. I never understood that. He never really put a lot of energy into grooming and maintaining relationships with people. I guess when you see someone that is content spending their time alone, it creates a vacuum and people flood in like water choking a storm drain. Even as his deterioration became apparent, people threw him lifelines.
