Synopsis
Including suicide, homicide, fratricide, incest - this is a love story, but unlike any previously published. Set in a reality one step removed from this one, "One of These Things is Not Like the Other" is a darkly comic tale of masculine identity and relationships. As four identical brothers seek answers to their lives, they find the truth as elusive as the shifting sands. Quadruplet brothers, now in their 20s, and raised in rural seclusion by their father are shocked by his sudden suicide. More surprises come in the video he leaves behind, announcing that one of them is an unrelated outsider and daring his sons to uncover the truth of their birth. From across the US the brothers converge to find a woman who may be their mother, but twisted lust, murderous secrets and shifting identities threaten all their lives along the way. Some men die searching for the truth. Some men kill to keep it hidden. Some come to wish they'd never learned it. But as the four identical brothers seek out answers to who they are and where they come from, they find the truth as elusive as the shifting sands.
Suicide, homicide, fratricide and incest - this is a love story and a page-turner, but unlike anything that has ever gone before. David Lynch meets Neil Bartlett. A Tennessee Williams-penned Twilight Zone episode with a Magnetic Fields soundtrack. Clive Barker meets Fight Club. David Cronenberg directs a queer Ordinary People. "One of These Things is Not Like the Other" is all of the above combined and more. A true powerhouse of a story."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
