- Summary:
- A tango (like a marriage) is something dancers have to dance to the end. This clear-eyed, brutal, moving, darkly funny book tells a single story in an immediate, accessible voice--29 "tangos" of narrative verse that take readers vividly through erotic, painful, and heartbreaking scenes from a long-time marriage that falls apart.
