- Synopsis
- Against the background of studied urbanity in an art colony in the Catskills is developed the progression into emotional bankruptcy of three lives, recorded by Roger Becket, a watcher, involved beyond his willingness. After Mark's death, his twenty-year-old wife, Elizabeth, leaves the Pennsylvania university town where her husband taught, to live in Highkill with Margot, Mark's first wife, a commercial artist. Elizabeth is a beautiful, willful, intriguing creature, fascinated by her own perversities and fascinating to Margot who loves her but is ashamed of her feelings, to Roger who, unsure of his own role and responsibilities is afraid of her, and to Gib, who sees her as another in a long line of bedfellows. Mark's death has been for Roger the beginning of his self-realization through the relationships which it thrust upon him.
