Game Control
Eleanor Merritt, a do-gooding American family-planning worker, was drawn to Kenya to improve the lot of the poor. Unnervingly, she finds herself falling in love with the beguiling Calvin Piper despite, or perhaps because of, his misanthropic theories about population control and the future of the human race. Surely, Calvin whispers seductively in Eleanor\'s ear, if the poor are a responsibility they are also an imposition.
Set against the vivid backdrop of shambolic modern-day Africa鈥攁 continent now primarily populated with wildlife of the two-legged sort鈥擫ionel Shriver\'s Game Control is a wry, grimly comic tale of bad ideas and good intentions. With a deft, droll touch, Shriver highlights the hypocrisy of lofty intellectuals who would \"save\" humanity but who don\'t like people.
A Perfectly Good Family
Following the death of her worthy liberal parents, Corlis McCrea moves back into her family\'s grand Reconstruction mansion in North Carolina, willed to all three siblings. Her timid younger brother has never left home. When her bullying black-sheep older brother moves into \"his\" house as well, it\'s war.
Each heir wants the house. Yet to buy the other out, two siblings must team against one. Just as in girlhood, Corlis is torn between allying with the decent but fearful youngest and the iconoclastic eldest, who covets his legacy to destroy it. A Perfectly Good Family is a stunning examination of inheritance, literal and psychological: what we take from our parents, what we discard, and what we are stuck with, like it or not.
Double Fault
Tennis has been Willy Novinsky\'s one love ever since she first picked up a racquet at the age of four. A middle-ranked pro at twenty-three, she\'s met her match in Eric Oberdorf, a low-ranked, untested Princeton grad who also intends to make his mark on the international tennis circuit. Eric becomes Willy\'s first passion off the court, and eventually they marry. But while wedded life begins well, full-tilt competition soon puts a strain on their relationship鈥攁nd an unexpected accident sends driven and gifted Willy sliding irrevocably toward resentment, tragedy, and despair.
