“Ruth Novaczek has written one of the great documents of the brutal, roller-coaster inner experience in the aftermath of intimacy. This auto-fiction novella - written largely in letters to the void - invites you feel lonely, connected, jealous, confused, obsessed and loved.”

— Francesca Gavin

“Ruth Novaczek’s brilliant and forensic account of a love affair gone wrong begins and briefly lives in a dazzling rapture that ends slowly in an agonizing unravelling... Is That All There Is?

A tour de force of heartbreak, Wrongness moves between accounting for the daily wrongnesses of a protracted breakup to a grappling with all the larger wrongs.”

— Chris Kraus

“Wrongness is a lesbian Death in Venice.

Every time you went home to your mother you came back loving me less: A romance told through surfaces, flashes of ecstasy and glamour, and glimmers of contempt that bloom into all-out cruelty, pathos, grim rites of mutually malevolent armchair psychoanalysis. A meditation on survival.

— Ariana Reines
