About This Item
US: Vintage, 2002. Paperback. Very Good. Ben Marcus achieved cult status and gained the admiration of his peers with his first book, The Age of Wire and String. With Notable American Women he goes well beyond that first achievement to create something radically wond erful, a novel set in a world so fully imagined that it creates its own rea lity. On a farm in Ohio, American women led by Jane Dark practice all means of be havior modification in an attempt to attain complete stillness and silence. Witnessing (and subjected to) their cultish actions is one Ben Marcus, who se father, Michael Marcus, may be buried in the back yard, and whose mother , Jane Marcus, enthusiastically condones the use of her son for (generally unsuccessful) breeding purposes, among other things. Inventing his own uses for language, the author Ben Marcus has written a harrowing, hilarious, st rangely moving, altogether engrossing work of fiction that will be read and argued over for years to come.
