"S. is the story of Sarah P. Worth, a thoroughly modern spiritual seeker who has become enamored of a Hindu mystic called the Arhat. A native New Englander, she goes west to join his ashram in Arizona, and there struggles alongside fellow sannyasins (pilgrims) in the difficult attempt to subdue ego and achieve moksha (salvation, release from illusion). "S." details her adventures in letters and tapes dispatched to her husband, her daughter, her brother, her dentist, her hairdresser, and her psychiatrist'messages cleverly designed to keep her old world in order while she is creating for herself a new one. This is Hester Prynne's side of the triangle described by Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter; it is also a burlesque of the quest for enlightenment, and an affectionate meditation on American womanhood. From the Trade Paperback edition."
"In a moment of sudden inspiration, Sarah Worth - S. - has walked out on her husband to join the Ashram Arhat. Famous for her transcendant wisdom and divine immobility, the Arhat has transferred his ahram from India to Arizona, where he and his enthusiastic entourage are attempting to make the desert fruitful. Originally published: New York: Knopf; 1988, London: Andre Deutsch, 1988."@en
"When a history professor, Alfred Clayton, is asked to record his impressions of the Ford Administration, he recalls a turbulent piece of personal history as well - his unfinished book on 19th century president James Buchanan."@en
"Epouse d'un médecin fortuné, 42 ans, Sara décide d'échapper à sa prison dorée et au cocon WASP de la Nouvelle-Angleterre. Elle trouve refuge dans un ashram, en Arizona, pour découvrir que le gourou indien dont elle s'éprend n'est qu'un petit banlieusard de la côte Est. A travers les lettres qui forment le récit de son périple, l'auteur se livre à une description drôle et cruelle de l'Amérique moyenne, de ses rêves et de ses valeurs. La fillette du couple, le mirage hindouiste, l'étroit réseau des convoitises et des conventions qui fait la vie de tous les jours, rien n'échappe à son scalpel."
