David Pinner is a disaffected thirty-something college teacher who has replaced active participation in life with a snide, cynical presence online. James Glover, his younger, cooler roommate, is working in a Soho bar while he tries to figure out where he wants to go in life. Ruth Marks is a thrice-divorced woman in her late forties, a legendary American artist and former teacher of David's, newly arrived in town again. Whe David introduced Ruth to James, he unwittingly sets in place a love triangle loaded with tension, guilt and heartbreak.--From publisher's description.
