SUMMARY

"Julavits's first novel, THE MINERAL PALACE, was an atmospheric horror show....THE EFFECT OF LIVING BACKWARDS is far livelier and less portentous. Alice's self-loathing and her complex relationship with Edith provide the emotional core of a story that is savage and funny. The book is improbable, sure, but so wildly inventive that you hardly care....When the guns and hijackers appear, Julavits creates enough tension to rival an airport-bookstore thriller.Julavits, Heidi is the author of 'Effect of Living Backwards' with ISBN 9780399150494 and ISBN 0399150498.
