Lying in Bed

"To read this novel is to enter into a night of webby mysteries. Simple as the premise is--a man lies in bed, awaiting the return of his wife--it quickly opens into a dangerous adventure of mind and of heart, of intellect and passion, of language and eros....Lying in Bed is a novel of the most intimate conflicts. Ultimately, it comes down to the contest between annihilation--the dominion of the darkness embedded in the mind and heart of each of us, the ruin of the body--and regeneration. The shock of this novel isn't its plot, its tricky sleights of hand or its frankly rendered sex. The shock is in its unabashed intelligence, and, in the end, its grace."Landis, J.
