{"product_id":"deception-philip-roth-9798212383950","title":"Deception","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dazzling novel about a man and woman married to other people--and the riveting conversations that take place before and after they make love--from the acclaimed Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Pastoral.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"With the lover everyday life recedes,\" Roth writes--and 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 book's action consists of conversation--mainly the lovers talking to each other before and after making love. That dialogue--sharp, rich, playful, inquiring, \"moving,\" as Hermione Lee writes, \"on a scale of pain from furious bafflement to stoic gaiety\"--is nearly all there is to this book, and all there needs to be. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Roth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798212383950\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blackstone Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e CD","brand":"Philip Roth","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46293090468095,"sku":"9798212383950","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_80a42bd0-048f-4c1a-b1e8-5379fa68d718.jpg?v=1730212099","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/deception-philip-roth-9798212383950","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
