Novelist, Film Critic, Astorian and all around sweetheart Marcy Dermansky officially launched the ship that is her first (and very well-reviewed) novel “Twins” at Bluestockings Radical-Feminist-Up-Against-The-Wall-Muthafucka-Bookshop.
The novel “Twins” is about two identical twin sisters living in suburbia and descending into a kind of competitive madness. The story is told from alternating points of view and everyone I know whose read it, including yours truly, devoured it in under two days.
We were told that if we dressed as twins for the party, we might win something. The only ones who did so where Marcy’s brother Michael (back to us, and not a twin) and his similarly checker-shirted friend.
Ann, despite not being dressed as a twin, won some fake tattoos. Tatoos figure heavily in the book.
Denise won a DVD copy of The Dreamers.
This photo is blurry because I didn’t want to use a flash while Marcy was reading.
Many friends were there:
It was also Melissa & Jason’s anniversary! Huzzah!
Dr. Fauth’s shirt looked like a screensaver!
I don’t mind saying it, ’cause I’ve known her for 100 years, but Beth Cooper can look pretty frickin’ adorable some times.
The best photo of the night, conceived by Bryan Riss, taken by Jurgen Fauth.
