Ira Levin
Ira Levin’s dark suburban tale remains as compelling—and frighteningly relevant—as ever. Psychological suspense mixes with elements of science fiction to create an extraordinary thriller tinged with Levin’s sly, satirical wit.
Few novels have enshrined themselves in the collective consciousness to the degree The Stepford Wives has. Levin’s sardonic critique has been spun off into countless film and television adaptations, from 1975’s original Katharine Ross filming to 2004’s Nicole Kidman offering—and its influence can be felt in later works from The Handmaid’s Tale to Get Out. Its title alone has become part of our common lexicon.
Joanna Eberhart is a creative, self-possessed wife and mother, newly arrived in seemingly idyllic Stepford, Connecticut. But as she and her family begin settling in, she’s jarred by the unaccountable sameness of the local wives: all flawlessly attractive, with perfectly maintained homes—and little seeming interest in anything else. As curiosity turns to concern, Joanna finds herself unraveling a web of malice that threatens her very existence.
Prepare to be captivated, unnerved, and utterly engrossed by Ira Levin’s dark and unforgettable modern classic, The Stepford Wives.
This edition includes an afterword by Peter Straub.
(P)2024 Blackstone PublishingRecensioni della critica
“Masterful, ridiculously well crafted…flawless.”
(Esquire)“The Stepford Wives has one of the most enduring premises of twentieth-century American fiction.”
(Daily Beast)“Stepford Wives depicted the backlash against feminism twenty years before Susan Faludi wrote Backlash.”
(Chuck Palahniuk, New York Times bestselling author of Fight Club)“A wicked, deadpan humor lies at the heart of this tableau…As a novel that can be devoured nearly in one gulp, its very efficiency deflects attention from the controlled composure of its prose and the jewel-like perfection of its structure.”
(Peter Straub, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Ghost Story)“Levin…helped establish, and legitimize, the horror thriller.”
(Los Angeles Times)“The Stepford Wives…helped popularize the subgenre of feminist horror.”
(Bustle)“Chilling…Entertaining…Read it.”
(Austin American-Statesman)“[Ira Levin] is the Swiss watchmaker of the suspense novel.”
(Stephen King)
