The Family Fang by Kevin Wilson, 309 pages


I will start off by saying that this was an extremely odd book. I'm still not completely sure if I liked it, but it did keep me intrigued and reading. Mr. and Mrs. Fang are artists, but not the type that create physical art, instead their specialty is performance art, almost shock art. With their two children Annie and Buster, who they refer to as Child A and Child B, they center their "performances" in malls, the best place to find crowds of people. The children have grown up with very different childhoods turning them into very creative but damaged people. After physical, emotional, and careers setbacks send Buster and Annie back to the family home, they must deal with their parents' issues and learn just what type of life and family they want and are willing to settle for.
