"I find myself inclined to set down for whomever, before my memory
goes kaput altogether, some account of our little community, in
particular of what Margie and I consider to have been its most
interesting hour: the summer of the Peeping Tom." Something has
disturbed the comfortably retired denizens of a pristine
Florida-style gated community in Chesapeake Bay country. In the
dawn of the new millennium and the evening of their lives, these
empty nesters discover that their tidy enclave can be as colorful,
shocking, and surreal as any of John Barth's fictional locales.
From the high jinks of a toga party to marital infidelities, a
baffling suicide pact, and the sudden, apocalyptic destruction of
the short-lived development, Barth brings mordant humor and
compassion to the lives of characters we all know well. From "one
of the most prodigally gifted comic novelists writing in English
today" ("Newsweek"), "The Development" is John Barth at his most
accessible and sympathetic best.
