What We Are Reading Today: Twinkind

Author: William Viney

Twins have captivated the imagination for centuries, occupying a unique place in our cultural and scientific history.

“Twinkind” looks at twins in myth and legend; anatomy, sociology, and genetics; and as sources of spectacle, entertainment, and community.

Viney explores the representation of twins in art, photography, and film—from the works of Roger Ballen to the cinema of Stanley Kubrick—and delves into the darker meanings ascribed to twins across the millennia.
