It’s notable that Joan has a name, for she is precisely the sort of narrator it’s become fashionable to leave anonymous: a fading temptress and low-key con artist, prone to glorifying her own pain, who steals objects and hates everything. The rest of the novel consists of flashbacks, set up by real-time events that contribute more to structure than momentum. Joan leaves New York for Los Angeles to unravel her past after her boss-slash-inamorato shoots himself. Lisa Taddeo’s debut novel follows her nonfiction hit Three Women, and the mathematically sharp among you will notice a reduction in scale: there’s one truly important person here, while all the others are there to limn her. Joan, the heroine of Animal, is the kind of person who constantly tells you what kind of person she is. ![]()

Here was a theme for a book or play, I thought, but not for me too serious, the scope too broad. Consulting the Navy regulations about my duties, I came upon three articles-184, 185, and 186-which struck me as a startling break in the chain of command, for they provided that if a ship's captain showed signs of disabling mental disturbance, his executive officer could relieve him. Somewhere in the South Pacific, early in 1945, I reported as executive officer to the USS Southard, an old destroyer-minesweeper much like the mythical Caine. It is excerpted from a memoir of my literary life which I have laid aside, to get on with that life by writing a new novel. Herewith, by way of introducing this edition of The Caine Mutiny, is an account of the book's origin, from the perspective of the half-century since publication. ![]() If you would like to use material from the book (other than for review purposes), prior written permission must be obtained by contacting the publisher at Thank you for your support of the author's rights.
