Music for Torching by A. M. Homes
As A.M. Homes' incendiary novel unfolds, the Kodacolor hues of the good life become nearly hallucinogenic
Laying bare the foundations of a marriage, flash frozen in the anxious entropy of a suburban subdivision, Paul and Elaine spin the quite terrors of family life into a fantastical frenzy that careens out of control.
From a strange and hilarious encounter with a Stepford Wife neighbor to an ill-conceived plan for a tattoo, to a sexy cop who shows up at all the wrong moments, to a housecleaning team in space suits, a mistress calling on a cell phone, and a hostage situation at a school, A.M. Homes creates characters so outrageously flawed and deeply human that they are entriley believable.
