But for most people, especially women, success with \"love\"--the yardstick we use to measure our value across romance, parenthood, sex, religion, and friendship--can feel out of reach, an experience frequently ascribed to a personal failing. This sense of unworthiness is, according to Shon Faye, \"a form of \u003ci\u003eexile\u003c\/i\u003e: an intentional, punitive banishment that serves political ends.\" Faye, a trans woman in her thirties, has felt isolated from love for as long as she can remember. So after the devastation of her first heartbreak, she figured it was time to find out why. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe subsequent investigation, \u003ci\u003eLove in Exile\u003c\/i\u003e, boldly reframes love's elusiveness as a collective question. Conversationally frank and intellectually ambitious, these eight voice-driven essays unpack the norms governing love in our time with the insight of a shrewd outsider. Here, Faye examines her breakups with cis men alongside lessons from Lana Del Rey and Alain de Botton, explores the lovelessness that fueled her time as an addict, tackles the relationship between feminine self-worth and motherhood, and finally attempts to discover genuine self-acceptance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe result is a dive into universal, deeply felt questions about love, reframed through a radical, revolutionary perspective. Written with the humor and rigor that made Faye an internationally bestselling writer, \u003ci\u003eLove in Exile\u003c\/i\u003e is a thrilling reckoning with love in our time.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShon Faye \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of the award-winning \u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestseller \u003ci\u003eThe Transgender Issue\u003c\/i\u003e, which was published in six languages.
