El fin del amor
Tamara Tenenbaum
NON FICTION | 2019 | 320 pages
Born and raised in an Orthodox Jewish community in the heart of Balvanera in Argentina, Tamara Tenenbaum learned the sexual and affective habits of the secular world like an anthropologist discovering the ways of being and doing of an unknown civilization. Drawing from philosophy and feminist militancy, from conversations with friends and colleagues, and from an attempt to turn her own body and experience into a laboratory for personal and collective reflection, Tenenbaum explores the challenges that young people today face at the start of their adult lives.
El fin del amor gives us a glimpse of what happens when marriage and the monogamous couple are no longer a life’s objective, and it’s a tool for the creative destruction of romantic love and the principles that sustain it so that from its ashes, a better love—one that makes men and women more free in their relationships—can rise. From the value of friendship to the culture of consent, passing through motherhood as a choice or an imperative, desired and abhorred singlehood, polyamory, open relationships, the workings of the technologies of desire (Happn, Tinder), and with a vast bibliography about these topics, Tamara Tenenbaum talks about everything in order to dive into the universe of affection, celebrate the end of romantic love, and propose the eroticization of consent.

“There are books that inquire, that make us think and ask ourselves questions, and there are books that are companions—this is one of the rare examples of books that do both things at the same time. El fin del amor takes on many of the most disconcerting and complex problems of our intimate and everyday lives, and it does so with the perfect mix of modesty and ambition: with the honestly of someone who writes from their own experience and place, but without turning back on listening and reflection.”
“Thanks to its lucid and pleasant perspective, the narration and analysis of her own experiences and those of people she knows when it comes to social media works very well, like when she makes use of the autofictional to dive into diverse socio-cultural aspects of reality (...) even with the use of autobiographical material, she achieves her goal of transcending individuality.”
