Book Title: The Family Fang by Kevin Wilson
Genre: Novel, Contemporary Fiction, Humor, Family Drama

In Kevin Wilson's wildly creative first novel, The Family Fang, his characters, a family of two outlandish performance artists and their unwitting though pitifully and hilariously anxious-to-please children, explore a fundamental question: how far can an artist go in order to be truly artistic?

“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.” A funny, poignant, laugh-and-cry-out-loud (sometimes at the same time) novel about the art of surviving a masterpiece of dysfunction.”
