"SEVEN TYPES OF AMBIGUITY is a psychological thriller and a literary adventure of breathtaking scope. Celebrated as a writer in the tradition of Jonathan Franzen and Philip Roth, Elliot Perlman writes of impulse and paralysis, empty marriages, lovers, gambling, and the stock market; of adult children and their parents; of poetry and prostitution, psychiatry and the law. Comic, poetic, and full of satiric insight, this is, above all, a deeply romantic novel that speaks with unforgettable force about the redemptive power of love. The novel is told in seven parts, by different narrators, whose lives are tangled in unexpected ways. After years of unrequited love, a brooding poet and teacher takes dramatic, decisive action to win a woman he lost long ago, and thereby triggers the events that shape the narrative and link the characters. Brimming with emotional, intellectual, and moral dilemmas, this novel--reminiscent of the richest fiction of the nineteenth century in its labyrinthine complexity--unfolds at a rapid-fire pace to reveal the full extent to which these people have been affected by one another and by the insecure and uncertain times in which they live. Our times, now." [flap copy] "Perlman moves deftly from the personal to the political, from intellectual debate to near farce and edgy tenderness."--Times Literary Supplement. "Cheekily swiping the title of William Empson's seminal work of literary criticism, this second novel by Perlman, an Australian writer, presents seven first-person narrators--whose lives are all nudged off course by a man's abduction of his ex-girlfriend's young son--in a compulsively readable tangle. At the center is a psychiatrist who treats several of the characters, and whose narrative provides some basis for assessing the partial perspectives of the six others. The abductor's self-justifying rants about truth, literature, and poststructuralist theory win over his shrink and, it seems, everyone else. Still, if the individual stories of these characters are compelling, their attempts at Empsonian hermeneutics are less so."--The New Yorker. Pristine paperback advance reading copy w/sharp corners [one slightly bumped] & crisp deckle edges, French flaps, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued.
