Duplex

Kathryn Davis · 2013 · United States

A novel that bends suburban life through fairy tale, science fiction, and the uncanny.

Notes and Misconceptions

It is not quirky suburbia.

Suburbia is a false floor: beneath the familiar houses are robots, sorcery, adolescence, dread, and mythic instability.

Best Path

Uncanny suburbia, fairy tale, science fiction
