New York: Henry Holt, (1989) dj. Hardcover first edition - Award-winning author's 11th novel. "George Light is a restless man whose career in TV has never had his full commitment. At 50, he is temporarily working in Denver, amicably separated from his wife, who has remained in Manhattan. They have a beautiful daughter, a college senior. Women's behavior mystifies Light. 'Men and women still stare at each other across an abyss,' he thinks; it's an age-old situation exacerbated by the new morality of the 80s. But in his case the abyss is deeper than Light suspects."
