An A.V. Club Book to Read for June 2019
In moments of exile and self-exile, exodus and return, Elise Levine's uncanny
narratives lay bare the secret grammar of their characters' psyches. An
ill-tempered divinity-school candidate refuses to minister to a dying man's
wife; a couple fails to connect as they tour an ersatz cave in the south of
France; holy women grieve in medieval England, and a pregnant runaway hitches a
ride with a Church leader of dubious intentions. Propelled by their longing for
pasts that no longer exist, these reluctant Adams and contemporary Eves confront
the unspoken, the maligned, the abject aspects of their inner geographies,
mining them for gems that glint and scatter in the light. Uncompromising and
honest, lyrical and wry, This Wicked Tongue dares to tell the truth about the
places we have come from and the new ones we might find.
