The Wedding Of The Two-Headed Woman: A Novel (2005) - Plot & Excerpts

You know, this is exactly the kind of book I would normally hate: selfish middle-aged intellectual cheats on a good and loving, if flawed, spouse, and doesn't feel bad about it, makes philosophical observations while doing so. And yet, because this middle-aged intellectual was a woman, the convention is turned a little on its head. Plus, for whatever reason, I couldn't help liking Daisy. Yes, she acts like an asshole, but there's this childish wonder at her own behavior that is weirdly endearing--and the aforementioned philosophical musings feel like having a conversation with a really interesting person at a dinner party. A pleasant surprise.
