Utterly compelling . . . Davis writes with a stunning brilliance, creating fractured worlds that are both extraordinary and routine. --The Boston GlobeA coming-of-age-meets-dystopian-fantasy-meets-alternate-reality novel, or maybe an Ionesco-meets-Beckett-meets-Oulipo novel . . . The world [Duplex] describes has gone cuckoo while its characters' anxieties remain stubbornly, drably, daringly familiar. --Tom Bissell, Harper's MagazineEnchanting . . . 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. --SlateFor fans of the fantastical, Davis's writing style is a glass of ice-cold water in today's desert of conventional fiction. --Star Tribune (Minneapolis) [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, The New York Times Book ReviewReading this book is a blast . . . Duplex is a traditional love story tucked inside an adult fairy tale, wrapped in science fiction . . . Thankfully, the laws of quantum mechanics do not power Duplex's magnetism. Instead, it is Davis's beautiful prose, her psychological awareness. --Rosecrans Baldwin, NPR, All Things Considered, Graywolf Press, 2014-10, 3, Random House, 2013. Paperback. Good.

"To diggers a thousand years from now, the works of John D. MacDonald would be a treasure on the order of the tomb of Tutankhamen."--Kurt Vonnegut McGee has lost not only the love of his life but also his last hope for sta bility. Soon grief turns to blinding rage. So when he finds the people resp onsible for Gretel's death, McGee goes off the rails--and off the grid, thr ee thousand miles from home.
