Praise for THE DOUBLE LIFE OF LILIANE "Special, provocative, unusual."-- Booklist (starred review) "Beautiful and wildly intelligent."--Margot Livesey "With fierce elegance, Lily Tuck boldly dismantles genre boundaries while weaving a seamless narrative from the fragments of her early life. Tuck crosses her physical terrain with candor and psychological acuity. Fact, fiction, memoir, novel, prose, poetry-- I've never read anything like it. An achingly intelligent work that is, in the words of Liliane's professor Paul de Man, 'an act of self-restoration.'"--Jamie Quatro "A triumph of artistry and storytelling.
