<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Utterly compelling . . . Davis writes with a stunning brilliance, creating fractured worlds that are both extraordinary and routine. --<i>The Boston Globe<br></i><br>A coming-of-age-meets-dystopian-fantasy-meets-alternate-reality novel, or maybe an Ionesco-meets-Beckett-meets-Oulipo novel . . . The world [<i>Duplex</i>] describes has gone cuckoo while its characters' anxieties remain stubbornly, drably, daringly familiar. --Tom Bissell, <i>Harper's Magazine<br></i> <br>Enchanting . . . Hums beautifully to its own rhythm. It's a series of dreamlike, often erotic, images and interconnected plot lines that . . . swell to create an intoxicating atmosphere. --<i>Slate<br></i> <br>For fans of the fantastical, Davis's writing style is a glass of ice-cold water in today's desert of conventional fiction. --<i>Star Tribune</i> (Minneapolis) <p/>[I fell] in love with Davis's writing . . . I'm grateful for every word . . . When you are lost in the uncanny woods of this astonishing, double-hinged book, just keep reading, and remember to look up. Kathryn Davis knows right where you are. --Lynda Barry, <i>The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>Reading this book is a blast . . . <i>Duplex</i> is a traditional love story tucked inside an adult fairy tale, wrapped in science fiction . . . Thankfully, the laws of quantum mechanics do not power <i>Duplex</i>'s magnetism. Instead, it is Davis's beautiful prose, her psychological awareness. --Rosecrans Baldwin, NPR, All Things Considered</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Kathryn Davis</b> is the author of six previous novels, most recently <i>The Thin Place</i>. She is the senior fiction writer on the faculty of the writing program at Washington University.</p>
