  As a playwright and novelist, Michael Frayn has managed not only to keep comedy alive but to raise it to a slyly subversive art. The New York Times called his last novel, The Trick of It, wonderfully satiric , while Time hailed it as a swift little breeze of a book . His new work is more like a typhoon of comedic invention.
