An exhilarating novel of erotic and psychotic extremes from one of
Canada's best fiction writers.
Everyone would agree that Darius Halloway was the most civilized of
men, a professor of French literature, a connoisseur of ideas and
women and wine, a perfect guest at life's dinner party. Darius
himself would have agreed, until Emma, waifish and insatiable,
walks out the door, leaving her empty clothes hangers rattling in
his closet.
For a little while, it's not so bad. He thinks she must come back,
and other women find his melancholy quite compelling. But then the
sparrows of insomnia start picking at the inside of his skull.
Life's little aggravating moments seem to require him to seek
direct retaliation. Soon all his smoothness and cleverness is
directed toward wreaking the most elaborate revenge... and getting
away with it. Until the ultimate retaliation arises, and there he
is, in the most damning of situations, with his nerves on fire and
his heart in his throat...finally not thinking of Emma.
