Reviews
Praise for The Shape of Wilderness "A vividly imagined parable. . . . A strange and potent book . . . . A fantastical world of unusual sensuality and invention." -- The New York Times "[Berc's] first novel is a fluid, often theatrical composition: action flows into dream, objects into symbols, consciousness into trance." -- Booklist

Synopsis
A coming-of-age story set in a prophetic American wilderness, by an award-winning playwright. Twin sisters Miranda and Rose live in a deserted hotel that their dreamer father built to attract a railroad and a city which never came. As their mother chases a delusion of her own, the sisters encounter an itinerant artist and a shady trapper whose impact on their lives proves shattering. With exquisite storytelling and seamless use of magic realism, The Shape of Wilderness follows Miranda and Rose on a journey of carnal and metaphysical love; spiritual and emotional violence; art and materialism; wilderness and civilization; loss and coming-of-age. A map of the mythos of America, a cartography of the human spirit, this stunning novel explores how we shape our destinies and how they shape us.
