There’s the fateful high school production of \u003ci\u003eRent\u003c\/i\u003e. An illicit affair set to Death Cab for Cutie. A pathetic act of violence in a Florentine study-abroad apartment. All the while, a mysterious (if idiotic) childhood friend is pulling strings from behind the scenes, his motivations troublingly obscure . . .\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the reunion draws near, a tragicomic series of events conspire to bring the brothers’ artistic and romantic entanglements to the fore. In a \u003ci\u003eParent Trap\u003c\/i\u003e-esque twist, Joe and Sam switch places, albeit to less-than-heartwarming results. When our protagonists finally collide at the reunion on the banks of Lake Michigan, they’re forced to answer an inevitable question: \u003ci\u003eCan either of us truly live while the other is still alive?\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired as much by Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan Quartet as ’90s sex comedies, the Eichners’ novel is at once a moving portrait of brotherhood, an antic satire of the entertainment industry, and a profound exploration of what it means to be an original when your very existence threatens to make you redundant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSAM EICHNER\u003c\/b\u003e’s stories have been published in \u003ci\u003eCleveland Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJoyland Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBlunderbuss Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e.
