"Utterly compelling . . . Davis writes with a stunning brilliance, creating fractured worlds that are both extraordinary and routine." —The Boston Globe

"A coming-of-age-meets-dystopian-fantasy-meets-alternate-reality novel, or maybe an Ionesco-meets-Beckett-meets-Oulipo novel . . The world [Duplex] describes has gone cuckoo while its characters'' anxieties remain stubbornly, drably, daringly familiar." —Tom Bissell, Harper''s Magazine

"Enchanting . . . Hums beautifully to its own rhythm. It''s a series of dreamlike, often erotic, images and interconnected plot lines that . . swell to create an intoxicating atmosphere." —Slate

"For fans of the fantastical, Davis''s writing style is a glass of ice-cold water in today''s desert of conventional fiction." —Star Tribune (Minneapolis)

"[I fell] in love with Davis''s writing . . I''m grateful for every word . . . When you are lost in the uncanny woods of this astonishing, double-hinged book, just keep reading, and remember to look up. Kathryn Davis knows right where you are." —Lynda Barry, The New York Times Book Review

"Reading this book is a blast . . Duplex is a traditional love story tucked inside an adult fairy tale, wrapped in science fiction . . . Thankfully, the laws of quantum mechanics do not power Duplex''s magnetism. Instead, it is Davis''s beautiful prose, her psychological awareness." —Rosecrans Baldwin, NPR, All Things Considered
