The Sacred and Profane Love Machine by Iris Murdoch
Blaise Gavender, a middle-aged, married psychotherapist, confesses to his wife that he has a mistress and an illegitimate six-year-old son. So begins this black comedy on the pitfalls of trying to have it all, and keep it all, in the game called love. Lovers, victims, and other interested parties bumble about in an effort to be helpful….until all goes very, very wrong. Murdoch’s modern- day morality play is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
