"Using a single interlude - a brief encounter of former lovers, two bodies entwined on a bed at midday - Minot defines the distance that erupts at what seems to be the height of connection, as well as the extent to which the senses deceive and the intensely private eroticism of fantasy and the imagination. Minot's lovers are hypnotic in their individual journeys - one moving toward a kind of holy consummation, the other toward abnegation and despair.

This is the wayward history of their efforts to make contact with each other while deluding themselves about the nature of the contact they're making. Sex here is many things: a devotional, almost religious offering; an act of bravery, surrender, denial and hope, and ultimately, one of profound loneliness. Provocative and unsettling, Rapture is a meditation on romantic love, sex, and their reflections in the life of the mind."--BOOK JACKET.
