Bir salonun loş ışığında başlayan, masum görünen bir sohbet… Ardından hızla büyüyen yanlış anlamalar, gururun ve kırılgan egoların tetiklediği bir dizi komik ama acıtan olay… Başkasının Karısı, Dostoyevski’nin ince mizahını, keskin gözlemlerini ve insan karakterine dair derin bilgisini ortaya koyan kısa ama etkili bir anlatıdır. Burada ihanet, aşk ya da evlilik yalnızca birer tema değil; asıl mesele, insanların birbirlerine nasıl baktıkları, kendi kusurlarını başkalarında nasıl gördükleridir.

È stato uno tra gli scrittori più originali degli Stati Uniti, la penna più folle e coraggiosa degli ultimi decenni. Non solo autore di grandi opere narrative, ma anche - come in questo libro - osservatore finissimo, dotato di uno sguardo totale, capace di attraversare un continente e restituirne ogni dettaglio, voce, piega di dolore e significato. Raccontare l'11 settembre o l'ascesa della tennista Tracy Austin, analizzare l'ironia di Kafka o riflettere sul tragico destino delle aragoste, recarsi agli Oscar del cinema porno o unirsi alla carovana mediatica di un avversario di Bush.
