An exquisite depiction of a doomed love affair, set in noirish 1950s New York
In a hotel bar, a disenchanted writer tells a beautiful stranger the story of his latest doomed love affair. Sipping cocktails, the man reveals how he became transfixed by a lonely divorcée living in a cluttered apartment across the city.
When they first met, he had been aloof, uncommitted. But this changed irrevocably when a millionaire waltzed into his lover's life, offering her a thousand dollars to spend the night. With betrayal lurking in the shadows and proclamations of feeling arriving too late, In Love is an exquisite examination of heartbreak set in 1950s New York.
Alfred Hayes (1911-1985) was born in London. He grew up and went to school in New York, where he later worked for a time as a newspaperman, magazine writer and radio hack. After joining the army in 1943 he served with the US forces in Italy. While in Rome he worked with Roberto Rossellini and Federico Fellini on the film Paisà (1946). He returned to the United States in 1945 to work in Hollywood. His output was prolific, including six more novels, screenplays and adaptations for television.
