Contempt
by Alberto Moravia • Introduction by Tim Parks
Alberto Moravia's story of a marriage in collapse is a caustic dispatch from one man's self-made hell. The narrator aspires to be a man of letters, but has taken a job as a screenwriter in order to support his beautiful wife. He becomes convinced that she no longer loves him—that in fact she despises him—and as he relentlessly interrogates her about the true nature of her feelings, he makes his deepest fear (or secret desire) come true.
Contempt
was the inspiration for Jean-Luc Godard's no-less-celebrated film.
