Overview
Two Against One, Frederick Barthelme’s enormously powerful novel, is the portrait of a marriage gone awry. On Edward’s fortieth birthday, his estranged wife, Elise, appears unannounced at the door, triggering a series of events that will involve the couple in a bizarre triangle and lay open the workings of a fifteen-year marriage. Set against the suburban new South that Barthelme has made particularly his own, Two Against One is a wry, revealing comedy about the nature of modern love and confirms that he is one of the most remarkable novelists of his generation.
