Is it a coincidence, or a secret terrorist plot?In the looking-glass world of Half the Kingdom-where terrorist paranoia and end-of-the-world hysteria mask deeper fears of mortality; where parents' and their grown children's feelings vacillate between frustration and tenderness; and where the broken medical system leads one character to quip, "Kafka wrote slice-of-life fiction"-all is familiar and yet slightly askew.
