»I loved Mrs Caliban. So deft and austere in its prose, so drolly casual in its fantasy… » John Updike
First published in 1982, Mrs Caliban was in 1986 selected by the British Book Marketing Council as one of the 20 best post-war American novels.
»Ingalls takes a B-movie premise (aquatic humanoid escapes from lab) and pounds it into a thrilling new shape – a vehicle for social satire, kitchen-sink realism, surreal domesticity, and just plain blood-curdling screams. The book deals with incest and insanity, curtailed feminine social spheres and the Other; horrific violence and a palpable sadness saturate the pages. » Ed Park, Village Voice
This volume also includes two story collections, Three of a Kind and The End of Tragedy, so making a tremendous primer in the subtle prose style and fabulist force of Rachel Ingalls.
