<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>"A punchy, disturbing fable."--Alex Clark, <i>The Guardian</i></b> <p/>Waldo, a fêted filmmaker, is confined by old age and ill health to his London apartment. Frail and frustrated, he is cared for by his lovely younger wife, Zee. But when he suspects that Zee is beginning an affair with Eddie, "more than an acquaintance and less than a friend for over thirty years," Waldo is pressed to action: determined to expose the couple, he sets himself first to prove his suspicions correct -- and then to enact his revenge. <p/>Written with characteristic black humor and with an acute eye for detail, Kureishi's eagerly awaited novella will have his readers dazzled once again by a brilliant mind at work.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Hanif Kureishi's short, sharp tale of revenge is diabolical fun. -- <i>The Times</i><br><br>The idea of a celibate Hanif Kureishi hero tormented by the very urges he once indulged is an excellent one -- think Philip Roth in a chastity belt. Given the current cultural and political climate, in fact, that idea may have even more than usual appeal -- <i>New York Times Book Review</i><br>
