Joseph McElroy began his distinguished career in 1966, with A Smuggler's
Bible. Actress in the House is his eighth novel-his first in twelve
years-a provocative and imaginative work that explores the mysterious
interaction of memory, abuse, love, and violence.

Struck in the face, the actress on stage is staggered but doesn't fall.
She gazes into the audience, staring with bloody nose at the middle-aged
man in the eighth row of this obscure downtown warehouse theater who is
drawn in by this violence unmistakably over the line. Daley has never
set eyes on this actress before, yet is not entirely unacquainted with
her either. Almost against his will, her life will invade his, her
efforts to break free of those who have tried to control her, and worse.

As Becca and Daley begin the uncertain process of discovering one
another, talking surprisingly, absorbingly, with a humor and uncanny
closeness on the night streets of mid-1990s New York, they slowly
unearth the events-both past and present-that have brought them together
and may tear them apart.

Joseph McElroy is the author of eight acclaimed novels, including A
Smuggler's Bible, Hind's Kidnap, Ancient History, Lookout Cartridge,
Plus, Women and Men, and The Letter Left to Me.
