Ruth Novaczek's novella Wrongness is a semi-epistolary work that charts a break-up/breakdown.
An account of an intergenerational love affair that uses a fragmented narrative, unsent letters to an ex, and reflections on sessions with a psychotherapist to interrogate love and its collapse, Wrongness is part-detective story, part-love letter, part-confession and part-lament. It is an illusion shattering book that explores the problematics of same-sex relationships, dysfunctional Jewish families and cross-generational dynamics.
