Crocodile Soup is a weird lesbian coming of age sort of tale. I didn’t find it as weird as weird as TW did, which makes me wonder. Am I weird because it made sense to me – or is TW weird because it didn’t make sense to her?
Dysfunctional family, of course. Gert and Frank are twins. Both have some serious emotional issues, though Frank’s are just a wee bit more serious than Gert’s (and Gert’s may be more related to the dysfunctional family and her twin brother’s issues than anything else). They live in a haunted historical home. The ghost, of course, is a poet. A woman poet. A lesbian woman poet. And she drives Gert a little more nuts than her family is already driving her.
Interesting. And yes, a little weird, but not THAT weird.
