Foreword
Hundreds of Americans are something they wish they weren't. The husband who becomes the polished man of the world because his wife adores the high-society scene, yet would be the first to admit that a can of beer and Monday night football would be more fulfilling. The minister who secretly covets the wealth he preaches against. The neighbor who belongs to numberous civic clubs and "worthy" organizations, yet is a beast in the kiss-or-be-killed world of business.
The roles people play are numerous, maybe because so many have so much to hide-like their insecurities, their income taxes, a blight in the past, or their moral behavior. Hypocrisy-is it a way of life for too many? Is this truly the Age of the Great Pretender?
If it is such an age, then the wife in this story is the epitome of all pretenders. She hides her depraved desire behind the mask of respectability.
RAPE THE REVEREND'S WIFE is a novel of today's society-its people, its problems, its pretenses.
