Retired but unretiring, Professor Alison Lurie publishes her 10th novel Alison Lurie signs copies of her books at the Cornell Campus Store in 1994. University Photography By Paul Cody "At three a.m. on a windy late-November night, Jenny Walker woke in her historic house in an historic New England town, and sensed from the slope of her mattress and the chill of the flowered percale sheets that Wilkie Walker, the world-famous writer and naturalist, was not in bed beside her." So begins Cornell English Professor Alison Lurie's most recent novel, The Last Resort (Henry Holt, 1998), her first novel in a decade and the 10th of her career. In a single opening sentence deft, graceful, subtle, packed with meaning Lurie puts the world of her novel, its terms and stakes, into rapid motion. A chilly marriage bed, an absent husband, a worried wife, set in a historic house and town, on decorous flowered sheets, late in the year, just before winter. Let the high Lurie comedy begin. "It's been much too long since Lurie's last novel," said

Thank you for Supporting MostlyFiction.com! "Truth & Consequences" (Reviewed by Guy Savage DEC 31, 2006) "Delia’s not capable of multi-tasking. When she’s working, she doesn’t notice anything that happens around her. Of if you manage to interrupt her, then she turns her attention on you—her complete attention, like a high-powered spotlight, though usually not for long. People are drawn to it like moths, they flutter frantically against the glass, and then the spotlight is turned off and they fall to the ground, scorched." Middle-aged Jane Mackenzie and her husband Alan used to be happily married, but their relationship is now marred by Alan’s back injury. For the past 15 months, he’s consulted a number of doctors and therapists, and even undergone surgery. But nothing has helped. He’s put on weight, aged considerably, and is in constant pain. While at first, Jane was a considerate nurse and caregiver, over time Alan has become peevish, demanding, difficult, and snappy. Gradually “he had begun to change for the worse. His admirable evenness of temper, optimism, and generosity of spirit had slowly begun to leak away,” and this change in Alan’s temperament while testing the wedding vow "for better or for worse" has stretched their formerly solid relationship to breaking point.

Zenware: How To Build a Distraction-Free Desktop Jonathan Yardley Scenes from a marriage unfold amid academic rivalries and campus politics. By Jonathan Yardley Sunday, October 16, 2005; Page BW02 "The best thing you can do, always, is tell the truth and take the consequences." That's what Alan MacKenzie's father used to tell him, but now that Alan is in his early fifties and carrying on an affair with "the famous writer Delia Delaney, the author of Womenfaith (spiritual essays), Dreamworks (poetry), and Moon Tales (modern fairy stories)," he isn't giving his father's advice the time of day. He's been married to pert, perky Jane for 16 years, but the bloom fell off that rose a while back, certainly during the 16 months he's been wracked by debilitating back pain. Delia offers him something new and exciting and even makes him feel better, so with all that coming his way, what's a lie or two between husband and wife? Of course, Jane is lying, too, and so is Delia, and so is Henry Hull, her lover (sort of) and companion. They're all living in what the nonpareil songwriter/singer/pianist Dave Frishberg calls "a blizzard of lies," or, as Jane imagines it, "a pit of lies." By this point, she's escaped the house she and Alan share not far from the campus of Corinth (read: Cornell) University and fled to her parents' house. The pit just gets deeper and deeper: "She would have to drive to her house and collect her makeup and her hairbrush, which would mean seeing Alan again and trying not to get into another conversation full of lies, his lies of fact and her lies of omission. Then she would have to drive back to her parents' house and lie some more to them."

Seems a bit extreme, especially if you believe this definition of the memoir, which appears in "Familiar Spirits," Alison Lurie's memoir of James Merrill and David Jackson. Lurie places the form squarely between fact and fiction. "A memoir is a more modest enterprise than a biography. Its author doesn't know and can't know everything: he or she hasn't read all the manuscripts and letters, interviewed friends, or consulted reference sources. A memoir may contain truth, but it cannot be the whole truth. Memory distorts, no matter how hard you try to hang the picture straight. This is so even if one has journals and letters to draw on, as I have because journals and letters, too, are selective. from Alison Lurie's "Familiar Spirits" posted by John Freeman 9:34 AM Comments: kgrey said...

A true social satire, Truth and Consequences creates a battle of the sexes to examine the complex connection between what a woman wants from a man and vice versa, and what happens when that singular pairing begins to sour. Truth and Consequences not only allows readers to recognize these qualities in themselves but also offers the chance to laugh at such perennial human weaknesses. "There is no American writer I have read with more consistent pleasure and sympathy over the years," John Fowles has remarked about Lurie. With this surprisingly fierce and funny novel, Lurie has created one of her finest works, destined to join the ranks of her popular university novels
