High Infidelity brings together twenty-four irresistible stories on the subject of marital betrayal by such virtuosos as John Updike, Margaret Atwood, T. Coraghessan Boyle, and Russell Banks, as well as new voices like Abby Bardi and Gregg Palmer, and even a never-before-published story by Richard Russo, author of Nobody's Fool. This collection embraces poignance and passion, the utterly unexpected and the sadly inevitable—in short, the whole complicated, contradictory world that unfolds when men and women break their vows.
