TWICE: A Novel

IS NIM ON THE RUN WITH HER EX OR HIS DOUBLE? A thrilling look at coercive control on a global and personal scale, TWICE is about doubles, false fronts, ex-loves, the secret history of the world and what weve lost now that digital tech tightens its grip on our hearts and souls. Nims ex love returns from Silicon Valley, wanting a book from their childhood. She chucks him out. Moments later, hes back again, one fingertip missing, claiming hes the real Chris and that Nims first visitor was an imposter. Nim doesnt believe him so he abducts her, forcing her on a journey where nothing is as it seems. Wryly hilarious and utterly bonkers, TWICE is like nothing Ive encountered. Imagine David Cronenberg making a horror film after binge-watching Fleabag, and youll have a general idea of the kind of roller-coaster ride that awaits in Kleemans delightful horror. Dan Chaon
