Critically acclaimed on its hardcover publication, and praised for its
playful inventiveness and delightful prose, Deb Olin Unferth's debut
novel, Vacation, features three characters--a man, his wife, and a
stranger with ties to them both. With his wife suspiciously absent in
the evenings, the man, Myers, follows his unnamed spouse on her evening
escapades and soon realizes that she is following the stranger, Gray, a
former classmate of Myers whose own marriage has fallen apart. What
follows is an unusual, unsettling, and wildly entertaining novel unlike
any you've read in a long time. With deadpan humor and skewed wordplay,
Deb Olin Unferth weaves a mystery of hope and heartbreak.
