Thinks
David Lodge`s satirical comedy is the 11th in his series of academic novels. In THINKS..., Helen Reed is a young widow who teaches creative writing at a provincial university, where she is relentlessly pursued by the calculatedly charismatic, sexually predatory--and married--Ralph Messenger, who heads the Center for Cognitive Science. In addition to the romantic/sexual tangle, Lodge`s novel also explores the question of whether science or literature is better at plumbing the depths of the human psyche. A New York Times Notable Book for 2001.
