I Loved You More

Author: Tom Spanbauer

2016 Longlist

At the heart of Tom Spanbauer’s novel is a love triange: two men, one woman. In New York Ben forms a bond with his friend, Hank who is straight. Ben is gay, but has had occasional relationships with women. Almost a decade later in Portland, Oregon, a now-ill Ben falls for Ruth, his writing student, and as Ben has found out with Hank, loving has its limits. Ben introduces Hank to Ruth, and the real trouble starts.

Set against a world of writers and artists; New York’s Lower East Side in the wild 1980s; the drab, confining Idaho of Ben’s youth; Portland in his middle age; and many places in between, the complex world revealed in I Loved You More – written in the poisoned, lyrical voice of Ben – is the author’s most complex and wise novel to date.
