Otto and Sophie Bentwood live in a changing neighborhood in
Brooklyn. Their stainless-steel kitchen is newly installed, and
their Mercedes is parked curbside. After Sophie is bitten on the
hand while trying to feed a stray, perhaps rabies-infected cat, a
series of small and ominous disasters begin to plague the
Bentwoods' lives, revealing the fault lines and fractures in a
marriage-and a society-wrenching itself apart. First published in
1970 to wide acclaim, Desperate Characters stands as one of the
most dazzling and rigorous examples of the storyteller's craft in
postwar American literature - a novel that, according to Irving
Howe, ranks with "Billy Budd, The Great Gatsby, Miss Lonelyhearts,
and Seize the Day."
