Elroy Nights is a reasonably successful artist and professor,
fifty-something, who is caught between the midlife crisis of his
forties and the "eagerly anticipated sublime decay" of his sixties.
Elroy and his wife, Clare, elect to try living separately, a choice
characteristic of their relationship-fond, thoughtful, generous to
a fault, and more than a little cracked. So Elroy leases a
high-rise beach condo, begins hanging out with his twenty-something
students, and experiences a splendid reenchantment with the world.
With his trademark precision and pitch-perfect dialogue, Barthelme
elegantly lays open this interweaving of twenty-year olds with
their fifty-something fellow traveler. The result is a lovely,
lilting romance, and a spare yet generous masterpiece from a writer
at the top of his form.
