Description
This novel maps out the mind and emotions of Captain Storr as he focuses on a crucial question - is his young wife Lizzie unfaithful or not? But for every scenario that suggests infidelity, there are equally deceptive and valid viewpoints refuting such suggestions.Tags

Fust gives Captain Storr a fascinating voice and character, but the obsession and delusion get old after a while. The Vintage edition is riddled with typos, which is annoying.
Publicada en 1942, La historia de mi mujer es una obra clave dentro de la literatura húngara del siglo xx, y la más laureada de su autor. Escrita en un tono descarnado e irónico que en ocasiones roza el esperpento, la novela se inscribe en la línea de autores como Proust, Kafka, Musil o el Céline de Viaje al fin de la noche.
