More Description

Through the lenses of a thousand metaphors, author Blake Henderson emotionally recounts the dying days of a marriage, the dark landscape of its ruin, and the process of rebuilding in its rubble. Pygmalion's Divorce, far from a self-help book, avoids giving advice to the wounded, and instead reaches out a hand in companionship to anyone familiar with defeat, depression, or despair, with an author retelling the indigo movements of his own story. Henderson presents the arc of his divorce in a parable paralleling the ancient myth of Pygmalion, a near-sighted idealist in idolatrous love with a picture of love he himself created. A compelling read for anyone kindred with grief or looking to explore the paradoxical landscape of meaningful tragedy.
