Providence Journal gives The White Devil props!

"The White Devil" (Harper Collins, 368 pages, $24.99) Justin Evans' daring tale of an American ne'er-do-well teenager adrift in the famed English boarding school Harrow, reads like "A Separate Peace" with murder thrown into the mix.

The mystery behind that involves none other

“[...] and I said to myself: Aha. George used to have a way of coping."
"When?" I said, confused. "You mean, when I was a kid?"
"Have you ever heard," you said, "of the idea of the shadow self?"
Sure, I told you. It was one of the Jungian archetypes—one of the symbols of the collective unconscious. That was pretty much all I remembered from college.
"Not bad. Do you know what function it plays, in analysis?" you asked. I shook my head. You continued. "The shadow is a frequent figure in dreams. It can appear as a kind of doppelgänger; an evil twin. It embodies our repressed desires. The dark stuff. The shameful stuff. The you-want-to-fuck-your-mother stuff." (48)”
