Washington Post ReviewPerhaps the first serious, detailed study of this peculiar permutation of collective intimacy, Three In Love sprung, appropriately enough, from the creative and intimate "partnership" of a married couple and their mutual companion of 16 years. Their well-researched book argues that Three isn't necessarily a crowd. The authors make a case for the prevalence of unorthodox trios throughout history by exploring the Bible (Jacob, Leah and Rachel), royalty, politlcal figures, actors painters and outlaws (Butch Cassidy, The Suondance Kid and Etta Place). For those with a yen for literary affaires, also included are some of the more notorious artistic threesomes: Neal and Carolyn Cassady and Jack Kerouac (at times, Allen Ginsberg); the tumultuous creative cannibalism of Henry and June Miller and Anais Nin; the monumentally ill-suited triangle of Dora Carrington, Ralph Partridge and Lylton Strachey. This comprehensive introduction to 'triography" leaves the exact contours of the menage delibentely vague, positing that it is neither confined simply to the sexual realm nor is as unusual an arrangement as some like to pretend.<<< Back |
