The American Dream"In this vicious parable about America, Mummy and Daddy live in gilt-edged insecurity, Mummy ruling with an unholy vitality that has reduced Daddy to a terrible, contented impotence. Into the house strays a beautiful young man -- an American dream -- except that he can feel nothing because he is the twin of the child they killed years before."--Back cover. |
