Review:
Book Description:
"An exceptional, incomparable novel."
(Jean Genet)"The most extraordinary piece of writing for years... 'Gemini' is about a pair of identical twins, collectively known as Jean-Paul. Saying this, however, is a bit like saying that 'Ulysses' is about a man walking around Dublin, because Tournier uses the theme of twinship to explore a near infinity of dualities. In addition to playing with such traditional oppositions as heterosexuality and homosexuality, city and countryside, heaven and hell, Tournier elaborates ingeniously on the profound opposition of chronology and meteorology―the fixed, regulated march of the hours on the one hand, and the wild, unpredictable fluctuation of the seasons on the other."
(Salman Rushdie)"Astonishing; an El Dorado of ideas."
(New Statesman)Tournier's novel is a love story that uses the theme of twinship to explore a near infinity of dualities.
