Driven to the edge by the men in their lives, they oscillate between erratic bursts of housework, lazing in the garden, and drunken escapades. But is the constant undercurrent of violence all in the daughter's mind or will they actually go through with their plan for revenge? With a shocking, edge-of-the-seat finale worthy of \u003cem\u003eThelma \u0026amp; Louise\u003c\/em\u003e if it were remade by David Lynch, \u003cem\u003eFeebleminded\u003c\/em\u003e is a wild ride of a novel with echoes of Ágota Kristóf, Elfriede Jelinek and Alan Warner, and will leave you both shaken and begging for more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAriana Harwicz\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the most radical figures in contemporary Argentinian literature.
