Through the collected paraphernalia of an\u003cbr\u003eunconventional childhood, Alex Kovacs creates a quirky, kaleidoscopic rumination on family and\u003cbr\u003ehow it shapes us--for better or worse.\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSexology\u003c\/i\u003e follows the strange, wonderful, fluxional world of the Crickholmes, where\u003cbr\u003enonconformism is celebrated, siblings form autonomous republics, and eccentricity reigns\u003cbr\u003esupreme. The Crickholme siblings youthful exploits take them on myriad paths: a hermetic\u003cbr\u003epsychic, a dog trainer, an ice cream purveyoress, a missing person. Between memories, \u003cbr\u003efactoids, letters, and old photographs, Matty investigates how their offbeat rearing made them\u003cbr\u003ethe adults they became, and how fantasy and convention collide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlex Kovacs's writings have received acclaim for their invention, wit, and astute observations of\u003cbr\u003eour absurd world. \u003ci\u003eSexology\u003c\/i\u003e brings this intellectual playfulness to the story of the Crickholmes\u003cbr\u003ewith a unique prose that evokes the complex emotional landscapes of W.G. Sebald's novels and\u003cbr\u003ethe sometimes-gentle, sometimes-devastating style of Susanna Clarke. The result is an\u003cbr\u003eentrancing, incomparable medley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Dalkey Archive Press","offers":[{"title":"Sexology | Alex Kovacs | Paperback | 9781628975024 | New | Fiction 1620640","offer_id":50691963814146,"sku":"1620640","price":38.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/81DAFIK9bJL.jpg?v=1791522807","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/sexology","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
