All the Question Marks

In this darkly comic novel of marriage and betrayal, John Skoyles constructs an ingenious dual narrative: a man confronting his wife's memoir while his own shadow self — the "quashed devil" he struggles to restrain — takes over the telling. Set among academics, poets and neighbors on Cape Cod and New York City, All the Question Marks explores what happens when one writer's truth becomes another's reckoning. With sharp wit and devastating honesty, Skoyles examines the stories we tell ourselves, the words we commit to the page, and the difference between the life we've led and the one we did not live. A masterful meditation on marriage, infidelity, and the dangerous intimacy between writer and reader.
