Mortals
Norman Rush
Ray Finch is a middle-aged Milton scholar and a CIA agent in Botswana. His doted-upon wife, Iris, may be an adulteress. And her physician, the quixotic Davis Morel, may be her lover. Mortals is a riotous political adventure, a meticulous portrait of a marriage and a richly ambitious novel of ideas.

Brilliant. Deeply serious, deeply ambitious, deeply successful... some of the most extraordinary pages written by a contemporary American novelist
James Wood
Expansive [and] exuberant... supremely accomplished
The Millions
The depth and richness of Norman Rush's second novel, Mortals, give him his own shelf in the canon

‘I nursed a precocious rage at the stratagems society was employing to keep me from seeing naked women.’
