Book Summary
Nobel-winning poet Louise Glcks only published piece of fiction, Marigold and Rose, is a hypnotic novella about the eponymous twins first year in the world. In deceptively simple, tender prose, Glck portrays the pre-linguistic inner lives of Marigold, who is the thinking one, and Rose, who is everything else. Even in infancy, Marigold longs for adulthood with its vast cargo of words. She has already started writing a book in her mind; she needs something that [stands] for herself as Rose [stands] for Rose. Rose, on the other hand, is sociable, curious, and selfassured. She is the twin who learns to breathe first, so she can teach her sister. In one year, the twins go from being tadpoles to actual miniature people who can babble, crawl, and drink out of cups. As Rose learns to talk, Marigold learns to watch. Meanwhile, Mother and Father have their own qualms about work and house-buying, Grandmother dies; by and by, the safety of infancy disappears, and the twins must grapple with the chaos and imprecision of the world of grownups. Marigold and Rose is a profound meditation on childhood, language and its limits, individuality, and wholeness, by a writer of prophetic vision.
