"Where this novel succeeds and is, in my estimation, the richest of all Malamud's novels lies in Malamud's command of the idiom of domestic warfare, the day-to-day details of a marriage in decline. Here as nowhere else Malamud pursues his favorite myth of moral exigency without resort to folklore or to the easy affirmations of packaged morality and the equally easy negotiations of psychic disarray. Malamud has been more considerate of his turmoil this time around, and produced a novel whose cries of conscience, erotic remissions and ultimate vote for sanity are worked out with patience and therefore credibility."Malamud, Bernard is the author of 'Dubin's Lives' with ISBN 9780374528829 and ISBN 0374528829.
