Asymmetry - Lisa Halliday

Two parts and a coda complete this asymmetral novel. First one is named "Folly" and the folly is a love story inspired, they say, by the author's knowledge of Philip Roth, the famous womanizer (and writer). Second part is "Madness", and we are talking here about real madness in the real world, the narrator is an american of Iraqi origin. The coda is a delightful interview for the BBC radio show "Desert Island Discs", with Ezra Blazer (the writer of "Folly") talking freely about the music he loves. I've enjoyed it altogether.
