Cards of Identity
By Anita Desai
The Secret
by Eva Hoffman
Public Affairs, 263 pp., $25.00
Eva Hoffman's previous books have been piercingly specific about time and place—a Polish shtetl, the Holocaust, the New World as experienced by a new immigrant. In her first novel, The Secret, she abandons that grounding in the historical moment and space and goes the whole fictional length into an imagined world set in an imagined future.
