Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Both of plays in this collection render a truly strange set of family circumstances. In How I Learned to Drive it's a sexual between uncle and daughter and in Mineola Twins it's a fractured relationship between twin sisters. What's so impressive and enjoyable about each is the emotional depth of these interactions, and how Vogel mines the characters attitudes. Lil' Bit wrestles with her affection for Peck and does not simply vilify his actions while Peck himself is certainly twisted but there are brief sparks of light in his character's moral attitudes. Both Myra and Myrna recite Bible verses and remind the audience of the complicated perspectives in a sibling relationship, which extends to the social and political realm as well. no reviews | add a review
