THE FATIGUE ARTIST
Schwartz, Lynne Sharon Sharon
1995 44237 From the Publisher From the acclaimed author of Leaving Brooklyn and Disturbances in the Field comes a sophisticated, droll novel that confirms Lynne Sharon Schwartz as one of our most astute observers of urban life's ragged frontiers. At age forty, Laura is struggling with the violent death of her reporter husband in a New York City drug bust, as well as her obsessive on-and-off love affair with a quixotic actor, when she is suddenly beset by a mysterious lethargy - a love affair with her bed, as she puts it. After Western medicine - hilariously satirized - yields no help with her chronic fatigue virus, she seeks its causes in her recent past and its cure in an enchanting alternative healer fittingly called The Witch. A writer herself, Laura takes solace, and ultimately finds meaning, in recording her encounters with a motley array of strangers, friends, and lovers. These perfectly rendered scenes of human frailty, bafflement, and valor in the face of private and public chaos take the reader on an extraordinary journey: from Tai Chi classes along the Hudson River to local New York hangouts to the beaches and shifting tides of Cape Cod. Publishers Weekly A woman begins suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome following the sudden death of her husband. (July) What People Are Saying Nicholas Delbanco "Witty and hopeful and fierce...she writes of love in a way both surprising and wise." Alice Adams "The Fatigue Artist is as wonderfully intelligent and as sexy as all the novels of Lynne Sharon Schwartz."
