Summary:

A dazzling novel about a man and woman married to other peopleand the riveting conversations that take place before and after they make lovefrom the acclaimed Pulitzer Prizewinning author of American Pastoral.

With the lover everyday life recedes, Roth writesand exhibiting all his skill as a brilliant observer of human passion, he presents in Deception the tightly enclosed world of adulterous intimacy with a directness that has no equal in American fiction. 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 nervously half-resigned. The books action consists of conversationmainly the lovers talking to each other before and after making love. That dialoguesharp, rich, playful, inquiring, moving, as Hermione Lee writes, on a scale of pain from furious bafflement to stoic gaietyis nearly all there is to this book, and all there needs to be.
