Actress in the House
''Actress in the House'' is Joseph McElroy's eighth novel. Lawyer Bill Daley follows up an unusual phone call from stage actress Becca Lang by attending her show. Daley is appalled when Becca is slugged rather brutally in what was clearly supposed to have been a stage slap. He stays afterwards, and she moves into his life.
==Plot Summary==
The novel is told in three portions, "First Night", "First Week", "First Love", and a short epilogue, "Extend". Several time frames are included in the novel, mostly told using the present tense, frequently with no direct indication that the present tense of one book section is unrelated to the present tense of the immediately previous book section. The main events of the novel are set in 1970, late 1982 to early 1983, and late 1996.
Set mainly in downtown Manhattan, the main characters are Bill Daley, an American lawyer in his mid-40s, and Becca Lang, a Canadian actress in her mid-20s. Bill's wife Della died of an aggressive illness in late 1983, after seven years of marriage. Bill's brother Wolf lives in Seattle with his wife and two children. He is a civil engineer specializing in geology, who tends to get injured on the job.
