| | | | From The Publisher
At the center of Deception are two adulterers in their hiding place. He is a middle-aged American writer named Philip, living in London, and she is an articulate, intelligent, well-educated Englishwoman compromised by a humiliating marriage to which, in her thirties, she is already half-resigned. The book's action consists of conversations—mainly the lovers talking to each other before and after making love.
"A fiendishly clever piece of work...an amazing feat.... He's invented the purest speech, the most convincing cadences, of any American novelist."—Hudson Review
| | | | Annotation
This book of lovers, overheard, voicing their secrets, is Philip Roth's most erotically original work of fiction since Portnoy's Complaint.
