Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2026

A long-time love, now a crumbling marriage, unfolds in 29 'tangos' of narrative verse.

The unnamed narrator - sometimes 'I', sometimes 'the wife' - speaks of the man she calls only 'the husband', illuminating moments that are by turn sensual, erotic, painful and heart-breaking.

The Beauty of the Husband is a work that explores these oldest of lyrical subjects - beauty, desire, love, betrayal - with freshness and devastating power, informed by the romanticism of Keats, the wisdom of the classical world and, most importantly, by Carson's own unique sensibility.

ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21st CENTURY
