Customer Reviews:

Very disappointing and not recommended.......2003-01-15

Being a geology maven, I am loathe to pan a book on my favorite subject, but it must be done here. This book is very amateurish, displays no sign of proofreading, and is horrendously inaccurate on any of a number of fronts. The writer has utterly no idea of how to prepare a geographically accurate map of large-scale features, frequently misspells ordinary place names, makes great misstatements of fact, particularly in the area of lists of features, such as the names and diameters of meteoritic impact structures, and glosses over or ignores numerous fundamental geologic rules and precepts.

Book Description

Set in Rhode Island, Winner of the National Book Award tells the story of twins who could not be more different. Abigail Mather is a woman of passionate sensual and sexual appetites, while her sister, the book loving local librarian Dorcas, lives a quiet life of the mind. But when the sisters are sought out by the predatory and famous poet, Guy DeVilbiss, who introduces them to Hollywood hack writer and possible psychopath Conrad Lowe, they rapidly become pawns in a game that leads to betrayal, shame and ultimately, murder.Darkly comic and satirical, Jincy Willett's Winner of the National Book Award is unnervingly funny and disarmingly tender whether she is writing about sex, literary delusion or Yankee pretension.

Captivating Black Humor.......2006-09-26

The clincher for me is when starving-to-the-point-of-psychotic Abigail flambes the evil passed out Conrad in his own Calvados then turns to her sister Dorcas and says: "Let's eat him." Brilliant. I almost wished she had. Very much looking forward to the next novel. So much so that I'll even buy it in hard cover.

Entertaining but too weird .......2006-07-03

I had no trouble finishing this book. It was moderately entertaining but never engrossing. The characters were so extreme that relating to them or feeling empathy for them was nearly impossible. Conrad, Hilda and Guy were so unlikeable I hoped for their demise early in the book. There were some funny moments but many more weird, disjointed, incomprehensible moments. The decriptions of New Englanders made me laugh out loud. All in all, it's not a terrible book and if you're curious...go ahead and read it. Otherwise, there are other books more worthwhile.

Ferociously Funny!.......2006-05-19

This book has the single best opening sentence I've ever read in any book anywhere. That's saying a lot, because I have a classical education, and I'm a freelance editor. What's more, the book gets better and lives up to the electrifying excitement the opening line inspired in me. Read this book, and give copies of it as gifts. This is a book to proselytize about!

A very subtle psychology...written for a New Englander.......2006-03-31

Yes I think psychology is the key to this book's success. The author knows people, knows their foibles, their habits, their suspicions and their strengths. This satirical story of two fraternal twin sisters, Dorcas and Abigail Mather, studies the incredible opposites that can come from the same source. Dorcas is a bookworm librarian who shuns sex, and Abigail, though just as intelligent, becomes the "town pump" and has a series of marriages that culminate in marriage to the evil writer, Conrad.

Jincy Willet, in the voice of her protagonist Dorcas , often comes across cynical and sad, but it is the moments of revelation and admiration of others that stand out. Even better are her often ironic juxtapositions and innovations of novel format, such as repeated use of italicized phrases, a la Dave Barry (though not as slapstick). It is not a humor novel, but it has some moments. The funniest parts, at least for me, having grown up in Massachusetts not far from Rhode Island, are the observations of normal behavior in that region. Dorcas is from a WASP family, and though she is too wise even as a child to feel like a snob, she is amused by the second-generation kids from Italian and Portugese families who can't understand her. "Say summatime" they ask her. She says, "Summertime." Elsewhere she observes that, it's not that New Englanders in general don't notice other people's concerns, they just won't give you the Satisfaction of Knowing they do. But even later, in the climax of the story, she is genuinely grateful for this pretense of unconcern - she loves Rhode Islanders - when she must face a very private struggle over what has happened with Abigail's messy, violent marriage.

This is a book for people who love and are amused by other people, in spite of their faults. It deals with the one truly rotten apple to enter the sister's lives, and so doing becomes a parallel challenge to each reader to live their lives intelligently, with honor. Abigail's honor is only reclaimed through tragedy. The story is less interesting than the telling of it, not melodramatic, but still inventive and playful. A worthwhile read for students of human nature.

I must have missed something..........2005-10-23

This book was lent to me by someone who had read a quote by Anna Quindlin saying it was a funny book - and many of the blurbs on the cover speak of laughing out loud.

I don't get it. It was an interesting read, and the characters were offbeat enough to be interesting but I didn't laugh out loud.

If this book has anything to offer, it is the descriptions of reading and fiction - people who love books will enjoy the narrator's descriptions of books, the act of reading and the running commentary on pop biographies.

I must not have the sensibilities of some of the more well-known reviewers however, because it was just a book to pass the time with.

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly Willett's second book, after 1987's Jenny and the Jaws of Life (a collection of stories re-released last year with a foreword by David Sedaris), is a brilliant black comedy starring twins with antithetical dispositions and a handsome stranger with designs on both of them. Zaftig Abigail has turned promiscuity into an art form, while the literary, virginal Dorcas finds pleasure in the library-in its books, but also in the graffiti scrawled on its facade. Dorcas recounts Abigail's scandalous coming-of-age, marriage and eventual act of murder, weaving in excerpts from the book version penned later by Abigail and the sisters' friend, Hilda. Through Hilda and her writer husband, Guy, who considers Abigail "art itself," the twins become involved in a circle of artsy, intellectual and morally decadent friends. Abigail soon falls madly in love with Guy's old friend, the charming but sadistic Conrad, and ensnares herself in a destructive spiral of dieting, degradation and dependency. Through a fascinating interplay of violence and desire, Abigail's masochistic tendencies unfold (Dorcas had identified them as a teen: "I stopped hitting her only when I saw, through the stars of my rage, that she loved it"). It's hard to decide whom to cheer for most: Abigail for her triumphant revenge or Dorcas for her sense of humor, keen perception and restraint. Willett does a remarkable job of treating dark subject matter with shimmering playfulness, without diminishing its monstrosity. And embedded in her narrative is also a reflection on the subjective and sensual nature of written expression. Poignant and funny, mean and tender, Willett's novel is exuberantly original.
