<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>First acclaimed as a story-length memoir, then expanded into a novel, <i>Sylvia </i>draws us into the lives of a young couple whose struggle to survive Manhattan in the early 1960s involves them in sexual fantasias, paranoia, drugs, and the extreme intimacy of self-destructive violence. <p/>Reproducing a time and place with extraordinary clarity, Leonard Michaels explores with self-wounding honesty the excruciating particulars of a youthful marriage headed for disaster.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"<i>Sylvia</i> is a fictionalized memoir, first published in 1992, about Michaels's first wife Sylvia Bloch, who committed suicide . . .
