A revelatory tale of love gained and lost--from a master of contemporary American fiction. * "An extraordinary, often hilarious novel." --The New York Times Book ReviewGerard sits, fully clothed, in his empty bathtub and pines for Benna. Neighbors in the same apartment building, they share a wall and Gerard listens for the sound of her toilet flushing. Gerard loves Benna. And then Benna loves Gerard.
