Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (Signet Classics)

Robert Louis Stevenson

Signet Classics, 2003

Not Really About a Split-Personality
Jekyll and Hyde is commonly evoked to describe someone with a split personality. Stevenson's novel is not really about a split personality, but rather a dual physical and spiritual nature struggling for control of one person. In this struggle, Dr. Jekyll doesn't just assume a different personality, he actually becomes Mr. Hyde. Presbyterian Pastor Tim Keller has a good, brief analysis of ...

An extraordinary first effort
Chaon is no mere sentimentalist, yet his stories chart probing flights over emotional landscapes of both the unusual and the everyday minutiae that comprise American life.

New Favorite
I thought You Remind Me of Me was absolutely phenomenal, and I've already bought two additional copies as gifts for friends. Would suggest this to anyone who enjoys literary fiction. Extremely accessible and captivating-- was reading this on a cruise and didn't want to do any activity that wouldn't allow me to read until I was done with it!

Exceptional, haunting stories
This book was nominated for the National Book Award. And if you take a look at books previously nominated for this award, you will find many gems (see also Blue Angel, and Feast of Love). This book is a collection of short stories from a relatively new author named Dan Chaon. Chaon has a unique voice and a very distinct tone. His stories mesh the everydayness of life with a hint of the ...
