At once a political excursion, a portrait of a separate but imperiled matrimony, and an acrobatic book of ideas, Mortals markings Norman Rush's return to the place he has made his own, the southern African land of Botswana. Nobody here is entirely what he claims to be. Ray Finch is not simply a middle-aged Milton scholar but a CIA agent. His lovely and doted-upon wife, Iris, is also a possible adulteress. And Davis Morel, the dark alternative physician who's dealing with her - while undertaking a quixotic campaign to de-Christianize Africa - can also be her lover. To be a spy, the compulsively literate Ray ought to haven't any trouble confirming his suspicions. But there's the distraction of actual spying. Primarily, there's the situation of love, which Norman Rush anatomizes in every its hopeless splendor in a book that would have delighted Milton, Nabokov, and Graham Greene.
