Synopsis
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE
YEAR BY TIME, PEOPLE, SALON, AND ESQUIRE
“The Family Fang is a
comedy, a tragedy, and a tour-de-force examination of what it means to make art
and survive your family….The best single word description would be brilliant.”
—Ann Patchett, author of Bel
Canto
A funny, poignant,
laugh-and-cry-out-loud (sometimes at the same time) novel about the art of
surviving a masterpiece of dysfunction. Meet The Family Fang, an unforgettable collection of
demanding, brilliant, and absolutely endearing oddballs whose lives are risky
and mischievous performance art. Basis for the major motion picture starring
Nicole Kidman, Jason Bateman and Christopher Walken.
Annie and Buster Fang have spent
most of their adult lives trying to distance themselves from their famous
artist parents, Caleb and Camille. But when a bad economy and a few bad
personal decisions converge, the two siblings have nowhere to turn but their family
home. Reunited under one roof for the first time in more than a decade and
surrounded by the souvenirs of their unusual upbringing, Buster and Annie are
forced to confront not only their creatively ambitious parents, but the chaos
and confusion of their childhood.
“It’s The
Royal Tenenbaums meets Who’s
Afraid of Virginia Woolf? I’d call The Family Fang a
guilty pleasure, but it’s too damn smart….A total blast.”
—Hannah Pittard, author of The
Fates Will Find Their Way
