Dispatched by their mother to learn why his estranged twin brother Gregory (or \u201cBrock Jones, PhD,\u201d as he is known to fans of his bestselling self-help book) has disappeared, Stewart Detweiler drives 1,500 miles to find his twin hanging from a ceiling beam in their deceased father\u2019s lakeside A-frame. But instead of reporting him dead, Stewart decides to become him. As he sees it, he\u2019s not assuming his brother\u2019s life; he\u2019s saving it, that his worthier twin may live on, while he in turn will at last gain an audience for his novel-in-perpetual-progress (the plot of which bears an uncanny resemblance to the one described here). At first Stewart\u2019s plan goes smoothly, but before long the motives behind his brother\u2019s suicide emerge, clues pointing to a web of intrigue, extortion, and desperate measures taken with disastrous results.<\/p>\n
Despite its dark trappings, DUPLICITY<\/span> is a fiendishly funny novel that sheds light on the bonds of family, on success and failure, philosophy and quantum mechanics, and on the ways in which we can \u2014 and cannot \u2014 rewrite our own lives. DUPLICITY<\/span> weaves all these and other themes seamlessly together, all while vivisecting its own genre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \ud83c\udfc6 2021 BIBA\u00ae General Fiction Winner!
