...Bhagwan's Tantric tryst is a thinly veiled allusion to one of the more bizarre nooks of modern Indian history. Years after Nehru's death, one of his close aides made the sensational claim that he had had a secret affair with a Hindu godwoman. Singh says he met the godwoman late in her life, and was convinced?whatever the veracity of her story?that she at least possessed the physical charms necessary to bowl over a Prime Minister.

Not the kind of thing that happens to adulterers in John Cheever's work...
...household slack, she loses interest in him. She is hard-wired to want a hunter-gatherer and nearly has an affair with one, an alpha millionaire client. But she cheats on her boss instead, stealing "Illicit Mummy Time," which requires "the same lies to get away for the tryst, the same burst of fulfillment and, of course, the guilt...
