Dubin's Lives by Bernard Malamud
The novel centers on William Dubin, a biographer in his sixties who is grappling with the complexities of his own life while delving into the lives of the historical figures he writes about. As he navigates his marriage to his wife Kitty and an affair with a much younger woman named Fanny, Dubin confronts themes of identity, fidelity, and the passage of time. Through his introspective journey, the narrative explores the interplay between personal history and the broader human experience, ultimately questioning the nature of truth and the stories we tell about ourselves.
