Evenson has created a fascinating, mysterious, and austere prose set in scenes that attain the precision of staged burlesque. Through the sparse economy of the plot and settings, Evenson's great moral sensibility is glimpsed behind the carnival mask of apparently frivolous murder.--Seattle Weekly
Brian Evenson has added an O. Henry Award-winning short story, Two Brothers, to this controversial book and a new afterword, in which he describes the troubling aftermath of the book's publication in 1994.
