Eight years ago, readers were invited to accompany Maurice Locksley on his rounds, as he paid court to his wife, his ex-wife, and his mistress in dizzying succession. The Marriage Hearse, his account of that wild winter?s night, was judged ?one of the funniest, smartest, and most generous novels about marriage from a male point of view.? (Phyllis Rose, The Nation) ? Now, eight years older in The Alibi Breakfast, Locksley is still ?laugh-out-loud funny? (Bloomsbury Review) but not nearly so cocky as he contemplates the possibility that his riches are reduced to a single woman?or is it even worse than that? Duberstein?s prose is as rich, precise, and allusive as ever; the people in his ?house? are as real as the people in your house (terrifying thought), and he weaves the varied strands of plot into a tale of rare depth and integrity. ?
