NATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER - Is love between equals possible? This modern classic is a delightful intellectual love story that explores the deepest canyons of romantic love even as it asks large questions about society, geopolitics, and the mystery of what men and women really want. "Luminous . . . Few books evoke the state of love at its apogee." --The New York Times Book Review
"The best rendering of erotic politics . . . since D.H. Lawrence. . . . The voice of Rush's narrator is immediate, instructive and endearing."--The New York Review of Books One of The Atlantic's Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years The narrator of this splendidly expansive novel of high intellect and grand passion is an American anthropologist at loose ends in the South African republic of Botswana. She has a noble and exacting mind, a compelling waist, and a busted thesis project. She also has a yen for Nelson Denoon, a charismatic intellectual who is rumored to have founded a secretive and unorthodox utopian society in a remote corner of the Kalahari--one in which he is virtually the only man. What ensues is an exhilarating quest and an exuberant comedy of manners: "A dryly comic love story about grown-up people who take the life of the mind seriously." --Newsweek
