"With its
eye-catching and ambiguous title, this book shows us that adultery is in
fact the perfect metaphor for identity. When you come to think of it,
identity is always a metaphor, never a fact. Identity is a construction
imbued with our convictions and judgements...
vThe reader is drawn
into a relationship with the narrator not unlike an adulterous affair,
in which the truth is revealed bit by bit, layer after deceptive layer.
We are promised a story about adultery, and what we get is a story about
identity; there is no other way because the controversy of adultery is
first and foremost the controversy of identity itself."
