Like all children, they exist in an eternal present; time is imminent, and the adults of the street live in their assorted houses like numbers on a clock. Meanwhile, ominous rumors circulate, and the increasing agitation of the neighbors points to a future in which all will be lost. Soon a sorcerer's car will speed down Mary's street, and as past and future fold into each other, the resonant parenthesis of her girlhood will close forever. Beyond is adulthood, a world of robots and sorcerers, slaves and masters, bodies without souls.

Once you enter the duplex—that magical hinge between past and future, human and robot, space and time—there's no telling where you might come out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graywolf Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47183197110512,"sku":"9781555970819","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781555970819_p0.jpg?v=1763755201","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781555970819","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
