Description

The boys were linked by a mysterious bond that stretched far beyond their childish years. Only the old man saw it. His warning remained like a forgotten dream-- but he was long-dead before the horrors began.

O romance GÊMEOS de Bari Wood é perturbador no pior sentido. Um chocante e sombrio drama não particularmente memorável. A premissa é peculiar: dois ginecologistas idênticos trocam de papéis para seduzir mulheres. Se isso não é doente, não sei o que é. Aliás, doente, estúpido e enganoso. A maioria das mulheres não deve achar agradável mostrar suas partes íntimas a um estranho. Como alguém se apaixonaria pelo médico numa situação dessas? Além do mais, a descida dos irmãos à loucura não convence. O produto é mais retentivo-anal do que o que seria psicanaliticamente necessário ou suficiente a formular. Um desapontamento.

Epigraph
The monkey rope was fast at both ends;

fast to Queequeg's broad canvas belt, and
fast to my narrow leather one.
So that for better or for worse,
we two ... were wedded; and should poor
Queequeg sink to rise... (show all) no more, then both
usage and honour demanded, that instead of cutting
the cord, it should drag me down in his wake...
Queequeg was my own inseparable twin brother...
