Twin Studies

Stacey Richter

story of reuniting with twin sister for twin studies
happens every four years
meets up with sister, the story tells of the narrator's "normal" life and then describes spending time with her sister as they meet, giving the reader a glimpse of their relationship
every so often the story is interrupted with tid bits from the studies: questions/answers, conversations with researchers, postings/ information flyers
complains that the researchers only ask surface questions, ones with definite answers opposed to those of feelings toward eachother, "terrifying intimacy" or the absence of
clues to the mystery of identity, as if data could ever tell us why we feel the way we feel
