Treatment by Daniel Menaker

Jake Singer, an anxious young English teacher at a prestigious New York prep school, is heading for a life of personal despair and professional mediocrity. Recently abandoned by his girlfriend and emotionally paralysed by a case of the vapours, he embarks on a course of psychoanalysis with a black-bearded, bodybuilding, Cuban-Catholic Freudian whose accent and tactics are worthy of the Spanish Inquisition. Then Jake meets socialite-widow Allegra Marshall, and as he bounces from the couch to Allegra's bed in the allegedly real world and back again, his life takes on the eerie, overdetermined quality of an analytic session.
