...ancients, a chimera was a fabulous monster with a lion's head, a serpent's tail and often an extra head in the middle of its back. To the botanist, it means a plant combining growths of differing genetic makeup-usually the result of grafting. Now British medical scientists are discovering human chimeras, in which one person has some of the body cells of another, invariably a twin...

In early childhood, everyone's parents are taken for facts of nature; judgment or love or forgiveness may follow later, in a lifelong search for identity. In that sense Mary McCarthy's art-wearing no makeup here, and armed with little of her famous wit-contrives to make her apparently simple material the story of a search for herself...
