Occur a declining textile town in North Carolina, Disguise is the love storyline of Wendell Wilson, a taxidermist, and Frank Clifton, a veteran of World War II. They meet after the war, in a time when such love supports real hazard. But, severing practically all ties with all of those other world, they carve out a home for themselves on the outskirts of town and for decades the tedious of self-reliant domesticity - Wendell's food preparation, Frank's care for a yard no person perceives, and the vicarious crisis of courtroom Television set - seems to protect them. However when Wendell locates Frank lying motionless exterior at age 83, their carefully made life together commences to unravel. As Frank's physical strength deteriorates and his memory dissolves, Wendell struggles in vain to keep him healthy also to hold onto the person he once recognized until, confronted with giving care and attention beyond his capacity, he must come to terms with the results of half of a century in seclusion, the sacrifices they made for every single other, and different lives they might have resided - & most especially the impending, inexorable lack of the one they had. Impossibly tender, lightly funny, and gorgeously rendered, Disguise is a singularly powerful debut.
