HARDCOVER DUSTJACKET - 526 PAGES: A FAMILY ROMANCE is a novel duology. Two converging stories, first separately published as "What the Tiger Said" and "NebraskaÕs Map," subsume themes from William BlakeÕs poetry, search among the mysteries and manners of Flannery OÕConner for that Òpeculiar crossroads where time and place and eternity somehow meet,Ó and challenge the psychoanalytic and spiritual notions of what a family can be.
