BOOK REVIEW McQueen inspires ‘High Voltage’ show ‘ e Heights’ delves into married life, temptation By Kate Ergenbright Daily Texan Staff Peter Hedges, author of the crit- ically acclaimed “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape” and the screen- plays for “About A Boy” and “Dan in Real Life,” offers an in- timate look at marriage, parent- hood and temptation in his first novel in 12 years, “The Heights.” The novel follows Tim Welch, a private-school history teacher, and his wife, Kate, a stay-at-home mom with two small boys. Their lives are turned upside down when the uniquely beautiful and captivating Anna Brody moves into their neighborhood with her rich, philandering husband and young daughter. In their neighborhood, the his- toric Brooklyn Heights, Tim and Kate are surrounded by flaunt- ed affluence. As one of the only middle-class families in the area, they feel the burden of living in New York with only Tim’s mea- ger teaching salary to survive on — until, out of the blue, Anna is offered a fantastic job opportunity working for a large corporation’s charity foundation. Meanwhile, Anna Brody, the Shannon Kintner | Daily Texan Staff newest addition to the Heights, Above, seniors Alexandra King and Liz Wong admire King’s personally created fabric, inspired by birds of paradise and Alexander McQueen designs.
