Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The year is 1973. As a freak winter storm bears down on an exclusive, affluent suburb in Connecticut, cars skid out of control, fathers and mothers swap partners, and their children experiment with sex, drugs, and even suicide. Here two families, the Hoods and the Williamses, come face-to-face with the seething emotions behind the well-clipped lawns of their lives?in a novel widely hailed as a funny, acerbic, and moving hymn to a dazed and confused era of American life. Review:"One of the wittiest books about family life ever written." Guardian Review:"Powerful....Moody's dialogue is sharp, his scenes vivid, and his pacing sure....He is a stylist who can summon strong emotions." Dan Cryer, Newsday Review:"A bitter and loving and damning tribute to the American family.... This is a good book, packed with keen observation and sympathy for human failure." Adam Begley, Chicago Tribune Review:"The Ice Storm works on so many levels, and is so smartly written, that it should establish Rick Moody as one of his generation's bellwether voices." Hungry Mind Review Review:"Moody brings this profusion of metaphor to order with a fierce, subversive intelligence. His characters, drawn with a manic acuity that isn't fully accounted for until the end, stay with us long after we've finished reading." Amanda Heller, Boston Globe Synopsis:On the occasion of the paperback release of Demonology, Back Bay Books takes pleasure in making all four of Rick Moody's acclaimed earlier works of fiction available in handsome new paperback editions.
