description: Poetry. "L.J. Moore has written an ingenious, magical, and profound book that crosses a riveting personal and family history with science, history, linguistics, Gnosticism, the movie Edward Scissorhands, and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, which lends the book its title. Anagrams of that famous name appear as subtitles and offer clues to events so powerful they refuse to be spoken directly. Numerous clues leading to this secret have been dropped along the forest path of homophones, double meanings, and a delightful, allusive 'from my pink springs/the red and white...I've been dressing in pink/but my bones are read/and my meat is white...'"--Paul Hoover.
