”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.
