<DIV><P>Eight years ago, readers were invited to accompany Maurice Locksley on his rounds, as he paid court to his wife, his ex-wife, and his mistress in dizzying succession. <I>The Marriage Hearse</I>, his account of that wild winter&rsquo;s night, was judged &ldquo;one of the funniest, smartest, and most generous novels about marriage from a male point of view.&rdquo; (Phyllis Rose, <I>The Nation</I>)<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Now, eight years older in <I>The Alibi Breakfast</I>, Locksley is still &ldquo;laugh-out-loud funny&rdquo; (Bloomsbury Review) but not nearly so cocky as he contemplates the possibility that his riches are reduced to a single woman&mdash;or is it even worse than that? Duberstein&rsquo;s prose is as rich, precise, and allusive as ever; the people in his &ldquo;house&rdquo; are as real as the people in your house (terrifying thought), and he weaves the varied strands of plot into a tale of rare depth and integrity.<BR /> &#160;</P></DIV>
