Description
Desperate Characters is a landmark of postwar American literature, a sustained work of prose that explores the fault lines and fractures in a marriage and a society. When Sophie Bentwood is bitten on the hand by a stray cat, a series of small and ominous disasters begins to plague her life, revealing the cracks in her marriage and the world around her.
First published in 1970 to wide acclaim, this novel stands as a rigorous example of the storyteller's craft, a work that ranks alongside other notable novels of the era. With its lucid and fine prose, Desperate Characters offers a nuanced and thought-provoking portrayal of life in a changing world.
Published in 2015, this reissue of a classic novel provides a new opportunity to experience Paula Fox's masterful storytelling. With its exploration of marriage, society, and the human condition, Desperate Characters is a compelling and thought-provoking read.
