Morton Dauwen Zabel Award, American Academy of Arts and Letters. LYING IN BED begins with the voice of a strange, compelling speaker. The more we learn of his life and his most unusual marriage, the less we are sure of who he is and what he says. LYING IN BED first seduces us with its intense storytelling, then ensnares us in a dangerous psychological and erotic labyrinth we never want to leave.
Intricately woven tale of a NY man waiting for his wife
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Consider a man, independently wealthy, who has nothing to do all day but wander the streets of New York with a walkman blaring his blessed classical music. He meets a woman by deciphering her handwriting. Suddenly, he is alive. This book is a journey through the mind of a man waiting for his wife to come home from a dinner engagement, and the thoughts with which he amuses himself for the evening. It is a beautiful story
