The Study of Animal Languages by Lindsay Stern
Ivan is a tightly wound
philosophy professor whose reverence for logic and order governs not
only his academic interests, but also his closest relationships. His
wife, Prue, is quite the opposite: a pioneer in the emerging field of
biolinguistics, she is bold and vibrant, full of life and feeling. Thus
far, they have managed to weather their differences. But lately, an odd
distance has settled in between them. Might it have something to do with
the arrival of the college's dashing but insufferable new
writer-in-residence, whose novel Prue always seems to be reading?
Into this delicate moment barrels Ivan's unstable father-in-law, Frank, in town to hear Prue deliver a lecture on birdsong that is set to cement her tenure application. But the talk doesn't go as planned, unleashing a series of crises that force Ivan to finally confront the problems in his marriage, and to begin to fight - at last - for what he holds dear.
A dazzlingly insightful and entertaining novel about the limitations of language, the fragility of love, and the ways we misunderstand each other and ourselves, The Study of Animal Languages marks the debut of a brilliant new voice in fiction.
