Fiction Family Life
Mr. and Mrs. Fang called it art. Their children called it mischief. Performance artists Caleb and Camille Fang dedicated
themselves to making great art. But when an artist’s work
lies in subverting normality, it can be difficult to raise
well-adjusted children. Just ask Buster and Annie Fang. For
as long as they can remember, they starred (unwillingly) in
their parents’ madcap pieces. But now that they are grown
up, the chaos of their childhood has made it difficult to
cope with life outside the fishbowl of their parents’
strange world. When the lives they’ve built come crashing down, brother and
sister have nowhere to go but home, where they discover that
Caleb and Camille are planning one last performance–their
magnum opus–whether the kids agree to participate or not.
Soon, ambition breeds conflict, bringing the Fangs to face
the difficult decision about what’s ultimately more
important: their family or their art. Filled with Kevin Wilson’s endless creativity, vibrant
prose, sharp humor, and keen sense of the complex
performances that unfold in the relationships of people who
love one another, The Family Fang is a masterfully executed
tale that is as bizarre as it is touching.
