Textul de pe ultima copertă

A man's wife goes out for dinner. He is lying in bed, waiting at home for her to return. The hours go by, the night deepens, and she does not come back. Soon he is nearly insane with longing for her. He has been trapped in his own intellect - a man who, before he met her, stopped speaking entirely for a year. Then she awakened in him a desire so great that he felt reborn and she joined him in a marriage, where every day was filled with discovery, excitement, and arousal. He will do anything to hold on to that feeling. Anything. In one terrifying night of music and madness, the past, the present, the man, and the woman converge in a dangerous psychological and erotic labyrinth. What is real? What is a lie? Who lives? Who dies? The more we learn in J.D. Landis's Lying in Bed, the less we are sure of. And the more we want to know everything.

Descriere

At the center of this novel is a strange, compelling speaker who draws readers into his passions and fixations. The more readers learn of his life, the less they are sure of who he really is. In the tradition of Nicholson Baker's Vox, Lying in Bed seduces readers with its intense storytelling, ensnaring them in a dangerous erotic web from which they never want to leave.
