Hal is a mild-mannered IRS bureaucrat who suspects that his wife is cheating with her younger, more virile coworker. At a drunken dinner party, Hal volunteers to fly to Belize in search of Susan's employer, T.--the protagonist of Lydia Millet's novel How the Dead Dream--who has vanished in a tropical jungle, initiating a darkly humorous descent into strange and unpredictable terrain.

Quick read submitted by lizgiessner on July 4, 2023, 8:31am I didn't think the plot was very compelling, but this book was so well-written, thoughtful, and provocative that I will read more books by this author.
