Thomas Gaiton Marullo

Racing from tie to tie, bond to bond, and caught in a debilitating loop that they claim to detest, but sadomasochistically enjoy, the characters in Netochka Nezvanova wreak havoc on themselves and their world. Their obsessions move them from momentary exultation through prolonged darkness and afficher plus despair, and once again, to old and new addictions for physical and emotional release. Marullo's original study shows that Netochka Nezvanova is a timeless model for depicting codependency, as relevant today as it was in 1849.
