For fans of Conversations with Friends and Vladimir comes a magnetic, fresh take on marriage and loyalty: when two married professors tiptoe toward infidelity, their transgressions are brought to light in a graduate students searing thesis project. Simone is the star of Edwards Universitys creative writing department: renowned Woolf scholar, grief memoirist, and campus sex icon. Her less glamorous and ostensibly devoted husband, Ethan, is a forgotten novelist and lecturer in the same department. But when Ethan and the department administrative assistant Abigail have sex, Simone and Ethans faith in their flawless marriage is rattled. Simone has secrets of her own. While Ethans away for the summer, she becomes inordinately close with her advisee, graduate student Roberta Robbie Green. In Robbie, Simone finds a new running partner, confidante, and disciple--or so she believes. Behind Simones back, Robbie fictionalizes her mentors marriage in a breathtakingly invasive MFA thesis. Determined to tell her version of the story, Robbie paints a revealing portrait of Simone, Ethan, Abigail, and even herself, scratching at the very surface of what may--or may not--be the truth. Innovative, witty, and tender, Seduction Theory exposes the intoxicating nature of power and attraction, masterfully demonstrating how love and betrayal can coexist.
