Book Review of Chang and Eng

Chang and Eng
Chang and Eng
Author: Darin Strauss
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on


This listing is a bit off - it's listed in Classics, thought it was published in 2001 (and, imho, is not quite a classic by means of sheer impressiveness), and I have no idea why it has a 5-digit ISBN.

It's a decent enough book, breezy, and of course heavily fictionalized (the brothers did not leave much by way of personal accounts behind); fun, but I'd hardly lump it in with Faulkner and Twain.
