Summary

Erica Johnson Debeljak: Virgin, Queen, Widow, Whore

How to continue living after the loss of the person with whom we built a life?

Although we are constantly faced with the loss of our loved ones, we rarely talk about grieving. Virgin, wife, widow, whore Erica Johnson Debeljak honestly confronts us with the sadness and pain that come with the collapse of the world after the tragic death of her husband, the poet Aleš Debeljak. However, she also introduces us to a love that is sometimes greater than death itself.

Virgin, Wife, Widow, Whore is a novel that we could call both autofiction and memoir, but above all it is a magnificent literary achievement, fascinating in the scope of the study of grief, the need to survive and the questioning of the role of widows. This novel brings us not only an analysis of our own encounter with tragedy, but also fascinating stories about women through history, literature and myths that unpleasantly shock us with the fact that society's attitude towards widows has not changed over time and how the topic of finding one's own place after the death of a husband is still not talked about today.

This masterfully written, devastatingly emotional and communicative novel confronts us at every moment with our greatest hopes, that we will find that true love on which the future is built. and with our greatest fear, that we will lose that person. Nevertheless, Virgin, Wife, Widow, Whore leaves us with hope. With the fact that life always prevails.
