Funny, smart, quick, and somehow realistic, The Family Fang by Kevin Wilson is a great book. It follows the Fang family, the parents, Camille and Caleb, obsessed with including their children in their post modern art - namely, creating public chaos. The children become actors, props, anything but normally loved children. I read an interview by Wilson in the Book Pages that talked about his use of dark humor and shifting of light and darkness. It was a very good interview and it persuaded me to read the book, which if you couldn't tell, was a very good book. It's a little reminiscent of Geek Love but the kids are just mentally demented, not physically.
5/5
