It tells the story of the sexual liberation of Charles Bradford, who after a bad marriage has returned to his hometown to be near his ailing father. There he meets Andrea, a feminist and political activist, and they start a torrid affair that forces him to reexamine his life.[2]
Reaction
The New York Times called it "an intimate portrait of a man torn between appetite and intellect, a sort of Portnoy's Complaint for gentiles" and a "painstaking explication of habit and longing" in an ambiguous review.[3]
