The boys from Siam

by John Austin Connolly

"Based loosely on the lives of the nineteenth-century brothers Chang and Eng Bunker (the original "Siamese twins"), The Boys From Siam is the haunting and lyrical story of the conjoined twins Pigg and Pegg. In his foreword, Edward Albee writes that the work is "a beautifully realized concentrated universe. It takes big chances along the way ... and makes us care - really care.""--Jacket.
