In Household Mechanics, Sarah Mangold's brilliant and eccentric
first book, the story is never fully told but introduced and
re-introduced. Line after dislocated line recalls our own attempt
to reach the essence of the subject in the only way we know how--by
continuously broaching it. Here, overheard conversation, family
stories, literary theory, music, and even TV become part of
history, the story one tells and retells. By turns playful and
acerbic, Mangold reveals the futility of even trying to tell it
right: there is no right, says Household Mechanics; there is no end
to this, or any, tale.
