63. The Last Resort By Alison Lurie - Reviewed By Ann Skea - Eclectica Magazine V2n5
    The Last Resort Book Review by Ann Skea, alison lurie, Eclectica Magazine v2n5.  
    http://www.eclectica.org/v2n5/skea_last_resort.html
    
    Extractions: ISBN: 0-7011-6713-0 reviewed by Ann Skea This is Alison Lurie's first novel for ten years, but she has not lost her touch. All that has happened is that her characters, like many of her readers, are ten years older. They now have grown-up children, a different perspective on life, and new, and not always comforting, prospects before them. Lurie is as acute as ever in her observation of human nature. We recognise her characters as particular "sorts" of people whose behaviour we think we can predict. They are almost, but never quite, stereotypes, and half the pleasure of Lurie's novels is in being allowed to play amateur psychologist, share her characters' thoughts, and see how illogical people can be. Wilkie Walker [not a very inspiring name] is a successful environmental scientist, and a world-famous writer and naturalist. Wilkie is seventy and no longer "flavour of the month", as his new, young lecture agent brashly tells him. Wilkie's friends and contemporaries are mostly retired or dead, and Wilkie thinks he has bowel cancer. Jennie, Wilkie's wife of twenty-five years, is forty-six. She is used to being regarded as a "walking anachronism", and being patronised or attacked by feminists, because she has happily devoted her life to looking after Wilkie and helping him with his work. She loves Wilkie and he, in turn, is devoted to her and shares all his thoughts with her. But Wilkie does not tell her about his health problem, and he resolves to commit suicide before his condition becomes a painful burden to both of them. This secret changes him, and Jennie suddenly finds that Wilkie is acting strangely. He hardly speaks to her and she has no idea what can be wrong.

    Extractions: Dictionary of Literary Biography on Alison Lurie Alison Lurie (Bishop) was born in Chicago on 3 September 1926. She received the A.B. degree from Radcliffe College in 1947 and the following year married Jonathan Peale Bishop, Jr. They have three sons. She was the recipient of Yaddo Foundation Fellowships in 1963, 1964, and 1965, the year she was also awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship. In addition to being a housewife, she has also worked as a ghost writer and librarian. In 1968 she joined the English faculty at Cornell University, where her husband is a professor of English; she currently holds the rank of associate professor, teaching courses in narrative writing and children's literature. Her first work of fiction was published in 1962, and since then she has enjoyed a steadily increasing critical reputation on both sides of the Atlantic. Her association with institutions of higher learning has profoundly influenced her writings, for both her experiences and her observations as an undergraduate and a faculty member have given her a great deal of the raw material which she has used in her novels and has combined with an intimate knowledge of life in the Eastern United States, where she has lived all her life. Lurie is, moreover,....moreover, a highly intelligent writer, perhaps too intelligent for popular tastes since much of her satire is of a cerebral sort aimed at persons in academic life, especially those in small, prestigious colleges. Despite the lucid nature of her fiction, however, it is difficult to say precisely what course Lurie would have her characters takeone is left wondering if events have changed the characters for better or for worse.

Infidelity and sexual failure are often involved in these witty, undermining fables of social life. Lurie’s book Foreign Affairs (1984), about a middle-aged children’s author worried about her sexuality, won the 1985 Pulitzer Prize for fiction.

With Truth and Consequences , Alison Lurie returns to Corinth University (a thinly disguised Cornell where she's a professor), and tells the story of Jane and Alan Mackenzie. She's 40, still fit and attractive and the administrative director for the university's Center for the Humanities. Her husband, Alan, is in his early 50s and suffering from a debilitating back injury. Jane has tried to nurse and pamper him, but Alan draws away from her. When Delia Delaney, a bestselling writer and the newest celebrity at the center, takes an interest in Alan, he's quick to have an affair with her. Untrustworthy of any of Delia's motives, the lonely Alison finds herself falling into Henry Hull's affectionate arms. Set against the petty squabbles, politics, and foibles of academia, this foursome must face the consequences of their actions. Truth and Consequences has received mostly positive reviews with the Rocky Mountain News saying, "
