Reviews
"Actors are among the most fascinating and fiery people alive.The Confessions of Edward Dayreveals the world of theater actors in New York in the 1970s-mysterious and charming young people in a great era. Valerie Martin never repeats herself. After a memorable novel about Victorian London (Mary Reilly)and the best book there is about slavery (Property), she has now recreated in stunning detail a recent decade that feels as glamorous and remote as the 1890s or the 1920s." -Edmund White "Edward Day's confession reminded me of how exciting New York theater really was in the 70s. Valerie Martin has truly captured the reality of being an actor and Edward's tale is as suspenseful as a thriller." -Blythe Danner "Valerie Martin has given us an entertaining and insightful look at the angst, joy and heartbreak that is the work of the actor. Bravo." -Ben Gazzara, "Valerie Martin's sort-of thriller,The Confessions of Edward Day, is one of the best novels I've ever read about the actor's psyche.... Martin builds an ominous tension almost Hitchcockian in its trenchant and perverse knowledge about the human animal.... [She] is like a great character actor who never calls attention to the flesh and blood behind the performance, whose art seems to require or at least contain a special kind of humility or perhaps even a desire to sidestep the limelight....Edward Daypossesses a gimlet eye for both the contributions and the eternal follies of his profession.... It's almost enough to make you believe that an actor should run the world. Wait, scratch that-make it a novelist." -TheNew York Times Book Review "A lively blend of heartbreak and truth-telling, self-deception and hope." -New Orleans Times-Picayune "[Martin] maintains a thriller-like pace and keeps her plot twists dark." -Time Out New York "Actors are among the most fascinating and fiery people alive.The Confessions of Edward Dayreveals the world of theater actors in New York in the 1970s-mysterious and charming young people in a great era.

Synopsis
Acclaimed author Valerie Martin returns with a dark comedy about love, sex, an actor's ambition, and the perils of playing a role too well. In this fictional memoir, Valerie Martin brilliantly re-creates the seamy theater world of 1970s New York, when rents were cheap, love was free, and nudity on stage was the latest craze. Edward Day, a talented and ambitious young actor finds his life forever altered during a weekend party on the Jersey Shore, where he seduces the delicious Madeleine Delavergne and is saved from drowning by the mysterious Guy Margate, a man who bears an eerie physical resemblance to Edward. Forever after, Edward is torn between his desire for Madeleine and his indebtedness to Guy, his rival in love and in art, on stage and off.
