132 pp. Kathryn Davis' third novel. Davis has received the Kafka Prize for fiction by an American woman, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. In 2006 she won the Lannan Foundation Literary Award. An eerie, dark, surreal look at domesticity brings together three diverse households--a dollhouse, a family in 1950s Philadelphia, and the home of a nineteenth-century woman--held together by the vision of Napoleon's chef and architect.
