For fans of The Marriage Plot and Freedom, I Loved You More is a rich, expansive tale of love, sex, and heartbreak from the late great Tom Spanbauer
At the heart of Tom Spanbauer’s novel is a love triangle: two men, one woman. 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—and as Ben has found out with Hank, loving has its limits. Then Hank reappears and meets Ruth, and real trouble starts.
Set against a world of writers and artists; New York’s Lower East Side in the wild 1980s; the drab, confining Idaho of Ben’s youth; Portland in his middle age; and many places in between, the complex world revealed in I Loved You More—written in the poisoned, lyrical voice of Ben—is the author’s most complex and wise novel to date.
