Twins by Chris Gregory

by
November 1997, no. 196

Incorporating photographs, diagrams, idiosyncratic typography, and even a list of references, Chris Gregory’s Twins is a media kit as much as a short story collection. It beings with a kind of parable about reading:

When I was a kid … I thought that one day I would live the kind of life that was described in the books I had read, a life filled with meaningful and thought-provoking conversations and dramatic revelations about my own nature and the nature of others ... When I got older I had a lot of difficulty adjusting to the realities of the adult world. The world I discovered seemed like an inane parody of the world I had read about.
