Mrs. Caliban

Mrs. Caliban

Now back in print, Mrs. Caliban is â€œtotally unforgettableâ€ (The New York Times Book Review) and â€œsomething of a miracleâ€ (The New Yorker)
In the quiet suburbs, while Dorothy is doing chores and waiting for her husband to come home from work, not in the least anticipating romance, she hears a strange radio announcement about a monster who has just escaped from the Institute for Oceanographic Researchâ€¦ Reviewers have compared Rachel Ingallsâ€™s Mrs. Caliban to King Kong, Edgar Allan Poeâ€™s stories, the films of David Lynch, Beauty and the Beast, The Wizard of Oz, E.T., Richard Yatesâ€™s domestic realism, B-horror movies, and the fairy tales of Angela Carterâ€•how such a short novel could contain all of these disparate elements is a testament to its startling and singular charm.
