The Confessions of Edward Day by Valerie Martin(Hardcover)
The Confessions of Edward Day by Valerie Martin(Hardcover-1st edition)
A chance encounter at a beach party in 1974 marks the genesis of an enduring love triangle between three stage actors in this fictional memoir. As a result of his mother's suicide, Edward Day has some fairly severe psychological issues, though he finds that the pretense of theatrical performance enables him to keep his own problems safely contained. Day is at a party on the shores of New Jersey when he nearly drowns before being rescued by a fellow acting student named Guy Margate, to whom he bears a striking resemblance. In the close-knit world of New York theater, the two men become rivals for roles, and more importantly, for the heart of Madeleine Delavergne, a ravishing actress. All three of the central characters use theater as an escape, but they often find that they are performing as much for each other in their private lives as they do on the stage. Selected by the New York Times Book Review as a Notable Book of 2009.
