The Double Life of Benson Yu is a book lobbed in half — and those who are already committed to reading this upon the book’s release in April 2023 may want to skip this paragraph for this is one of those reads where the less you know, the more effective the story will be. When the police report to her they may have a sighting of her father, she sets out on a mission to locate him first.

As a journalist, my work varies from undercover investigations to celebrity interviews - but what really interests me is seemingly ordinary people who do extraordinary things. The father may have murdered the nanny and tried to murder the ex wife, he had possibly been spotted several times over the years after he disappeared, the daughter befriends someone who may have info and tries to find him and then there is a little bit left to the story after that. It is interesting in form, mixing prose and poetry, and full of sharply ironic insights about Russian society of the day, especially the lives of young women. During the inquest her reputation is brought into question including concerns over her mental health and her sexual proclivities.

Cuando comienza la historia la policía cree haber localizado al fugitivo, y eso descoloca a nuestra protagonista que ya en la treintena sigue obsesionada con su padre. Berry’s rich 2016 debut, “Under the Harrow,” about a woman hellbent on finding her sister’s murderer, won the Edgar Award for best first novel. Imagine how different your life would be if you knew when someone was lying or telling you the truth.In the 1990s he isolated himself from fellow musicians: those who toured as his support act might not be allowed to approach him in a hotel corridor. Trying to figure out how to introduce Canadian Kevin Chong’s ferociously courageous new novel, The Double Life of Benson Yu, feels problematic.
