Fiction Family Life
A family story for the twenty-first century, based on the
phenomenally popular Texts from Bennett Tumblr blog, this
epistolary novel chronicles the year that Bennett and the
rest of his freeloading family moved into his cousin Mac's
household. Hardworking Kansas rapper Mac has a problem, and its name is
Bennett. His wannabe gangster cousin is seventeen, uses
drugs and foul language, treats women worse than Charlie
Sheen, and has just moved in. For the sake of aiding his addled aunt and trying to put
Bennett on the straight and narrow, Mac dutifully takes them
into his house when they lose their own. Through their
interactions and legendary text message exchanges, one thing
becomes absolutely clear: Bennett views the world
differently than most. (Partly because he’s looking through
smoke-filled glasses). In a year of ups and downs, Mac and Bennett need to stick
together and make this new family unit work. From stealing
cats, to legendary fights with the uncontrollable Mercedes,
to his “11 commandmints of gittin bitchez,” Bennett’s going
to make that more than a little difficult. But if Mac pays
enough attention, maybe, just maybe he'll learn something
along the way himself. Regardless of whether they survive their time together, one
thing’s for sure, though: Bennett is no ordinary teenager,
and certainly not one you’ll soon forget.
