Her Body Knows: Two Novellas

A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice

A fevered storyteller and a captive audience revisit the past in both of David Grossman's novellas, trying to make sense of a betrayal that neither one can put to rest. In Frenzy, a reserved and respectable man draws his sister-in-law into a paranoid conviction---that his wife is having an affair. In the title novella, a successful but embittered novelist delivers a merciless account of her dying mother's love affair with a much younger teenage boy. Suffused with delirious tension and characters more substantial than in most novels twice its size (The Village Voice), Her Body Knows is a disquieting journey into the nature of infidelity and desire.
