One of my favorite books of all time! Alan has a secret or two of his own.."His father is a mountain, his mother is a washing machine, and among his brothers is a set of Russian nesting dolls. Now two of the three nesting dolls, Edward and Frederick, are on his doorstep well on their way to starvation because their innermost member, George, has vanished. It appears that yet another brother, Davey, whom Alan and his other siblings killed years ago, may have returned....bent on revenge."
I would love to see, read, or hear Doctorow's take on the story he is telling here. Incredible.
