This book dispels some prevalent and sadly persistent stereotypes and prejudices about twin relations, while simultaneously highlighting certain novels that do more justice to twinship than sundry others do. These include, but are not limited to, Mia Siegert’s Jerkbait and Wally Lamb’s I Know This Much Is True. It is important to emphasize that any novel worth its salt needs to ground itself in reality, especially if it represents a depiction of something such as twinship (a phenomenon about which not too many people are well-informed).

Reviews

I am most excited about the way Dr, Chishty-Mujahid has applied her intelligence (and knowledge of astrology and geometry) in order to create a wand of Mercury from the 56 pip cards of the Sola Busca set of engravings. By doing so she has successfully concluded a vast and highly important project on which she has been working for years. Her commitment and dedication are truly inspiring and worthy of praise.
