Pitch Dark (NYRB Classics)

“What’s new. What else. What next. What’s happened here.”<br>     <br><i>Pitch Dark</i> is a book about love. Kate Ennis is poised at a critical moment in an affair with a married man. The complications and contradictions pursue her from a house in rural Connecticut to a brownstone apartment in New York City, to a small island off the coast of Washington, to a pitch black night in backcountry Ireland. <br>       <br>Composed in the style of Renata Adler’s celebrated novel <i>Speedboat</i> and displaying her keen journalist’s eye and mastery of language, both simple and sublime, <i>Pitch Dark</i> is a bold and astonishing work of art.
