Another You is Ann Beattie’s fourth published novel; she has also produced several collections of short fiction. This novel focuses on Marshall Lockard, a professor of English at a small college in New Hampshire and a man of limited emotional response. He has a childless marriage that is comfortable for him. He has a job that allows him to indulge his love for literature without becoming too involved in the lives of his students. He has a stepmother who reared him and who is now in a nursing home; he does not visit her but leaves that duty to Sonja, his wife.
