À propos de cet audio
“Enigmatic, opalescent, so precise.” —Jia Tolentino
An intimate and candid account of one of the most romantic and revolutionary of relationships: divorce
Divorce was everything for Haley Mlotek. As a child, she listened to her twice-divorced grandmother tell stories about her “husbands.” As a pre-teen, she answered the phones for her mother’s mediation and marriage counseling practice and typed out the paperwork for couples in the process of leaving each other. She grew up with the sense that divorce was an outcome to both resist and desire, an ordeal that promised something better on the other side of something bad. But when she herself went on to marry—and then divorce—the man she had been with for twelve years, suddenly, she had to reconsider her generation’s inherited understanding of the institution.
Deftly combining her personal story with wry, searching social and literary exploration, No Fault is a deeply felt and radiant account of 21st century divorce—the remarkably common and seemingly singular experience, and what it reveals about our society and our desires for family, love, and friendship. Mlotek asks profound questions about what divorce should be, who it is for, and why the institution of marriage maintains its power, all while charting a poignant and cathartic journey away from her own marriage towards an unknown future.
Brilliant, funny, and unflinchingly honest, No Fault is a kaleidoscopic look at marriage, secrets, ambitions, and what it means to love and live with uncertainty, betrayal, and hope.©2025 Haley Mlotek (P)2025 Penguin Audio
Ce que les critiques en disent
“Marriage might be archaic and sexist, but Mlotek takes care to show how it is also a deeply intimate union, one that is difficult to study without looking inward. This is an insightful, tender exploration of the desires that draws people together — and the rifts that push them apart.”
—Vulture’s “30 Books We Can’t Wait to Read in 2025”
“We’ve socialized divorce as one of the worst outcomes that can follow marriage, but what if it were simply something that took place in some people’s lives, without undue baggage and with the potential for a whole artistic genre to be created around it? . . . The story that Mlotek tells about the end of her marriage–about all marriages, really–is entirely her own, just as a divorce should belong entirely to the couple at its center, and I look forward to seeing what story she’ll choose to tell next.”
—Emma Specter, Vogue, “The Best Books of 2025—A Preview”
“Haley Mlotek uses her own breakup only as a jumping off point to grapple with the idea of divorce as a cultural phenomenon, choosing to look outward rather than inward, using films and literature and history as grounding elements in her winding meditation on the subject. Another revelatory addition to the collection of books on marriage and its endings, No Fault captivatingly provides a review of many other artistic depictions of marriage and divorce as well as offers an elucidating peek into her first-hand experience.”
