Narration Supposing Books I Loved You More

Tom Spanbauer’s first novel in seven years is a love story triangle akin to The Marriage Plot and Freedom, only with a gay main character who charms gays and straights alike. I Loved You More is a rich, expansive tale of love, sex, and heartbreak, covering twenty-five years in the life of a striving, emotionally wounded writer. In New York, Ben forms a bond of love with his macho friend and foil, Hank. Years later in Portland, a now ill Ben falls for Ruth, who provides the care and devotion he needs, though they cannot find true happiness together. Then Hank reappears and meets Ruth, and real trouble starts. Set against a world of struggling artists, the underground sex scene of New York in the 1980s, the drab, confining Idaho of Ben’s youth, and many places in between, I Loved You More is the author’s most complex and wise novel to date.

Write-Up Appertaining To Books I Loved You More

I closed the final page of this novel and couldn't move. And then the tears came.Spanbauer has written a novel so painful and honest that at times it felt like a physical punch to the gut. This a piece of work that you immerse yourself in. I lived these characters' lives.Now I'm going to spend the rest of my day feeling not quite sure what to do with myself because I'm still processing all these feelings.

This is my first time reading Tom Spanbauer, and I really enjoyed his prose and honest writing style. Tracking a "love triangle," if you can call it that, over the course of 20 years, I Loved You More is beautifully written, and ultimately one of the more human novels I've read in a long time.I'm not sure if this is somewhat of a fictionalized memoir (it seem so based on Spanbauer's bio), but this dove into the protagonist's mind in sometimes profound ways. Dealing with topics from sexuality to

This is a very sad book--the book encompasses the entire adult life of a gay, male writer who struggles with self-doubt, depression, emotional issues stemming from his childhood. He just wants to love and be loved (I guess we all want that). The twist for me is that the protagonist is gay and the story is set in the middle of the AIDS crisis peak. He gives a very personal, and dark narrative, which was enlightening for me. This book is described as a novel, but I got the feeling that much of it

When Tom Spanbauer releases a new book, you drop everything. I love this man. Each time though, I forget how much emotional and psychic energy he wrings out of me, what you go through body and soul. You can't read them passively, you've got to give to get back, he gives you no choice. I always come out the other end changed, feeling more alive, more connected to the practice of being alive. All I can say is I didn't ever want to stop reading this novel. On the last page I cried in front of my

"I inhale on the cigarette so deep I inhale every aspect of the night, the place, that moment: the kerosene light, the heat from the stove, the draft from the back door, the drizzle of rain on the tin roof, the smell of the rain and the smell of tamales and boiled beans, the smack of hot sauce on my tongue, the tang of the beer."This book has such beautiful writing and such rawness and realness to it. It's a book about being gay, love, friendship, writing, AIDS, cancer and hope. It's pretty

The More Loving OneW. H. AudenLooking up at the stars, I know quite wellThat, for all they care, I can go to hell,But on earth indifference is the leastWe have to dread from man or beast.How should we like it were stars to burnWith a passion for us we could not return?If equal affection cannot be,Let the more loving one be me.Admirer as I think I amOf stars that do not give a damn,I cannot, now I see them, sayI missed one terribly all day.Were all stars to disappear or die,I should learn to look
