In the novel, Attachment, a wife assumes her husband’s identity and begins an email correspondence with his lover. Kurt asks Isabel Fonseca what it’s like to write about infidelity when she’s in a happy marriage — and about her own experience as the “other woman” of novelist Martin Amis, now her husband. Actor Laurie Metcalf reads excerpts from the book.
