...fall for each other too. Revoyr's great accomplishment is that her story is never strained. It beats with the pulse of life and ends with a strong, heart-churning rumination on love and longing.

Later it came to light that he had fathered a daughter by a woman in Texas, news that did nothing to smooth relations with his (now estranged) wife. Morris consoled himself with a $2.5 million book advance. He remains a much quoted political analyst, one gamely attempting to reach the ear of a President who holds him at arm's length.
