Book summary

In his novels, Thomas Berger often analyzes the ambiguous relationship between victims and victimizers. In THE HOUSEGUEST, Chuck Burgoyne comes to stay with the Graveses, and he's the ideal guest: in addition to his other good qualities, he is a great cook. But things subtly change, until the Graves family is at Burgoyne's mercy. This satire of suburban life and vulnerability is a typical Berger novel: mordantly funny, full of piercing insights, and dizzyingly inventive.
