    From Kevin Wilson, the author of Tunneling to the Center of the Earth, The Family Fang is the hilarious yet tragic tale of Buster and Annie, siblings who spent their childhood starring in their parents' madcap performance art pieces. Now grown up, the chaos of this childhood has made it a struggle for both to adjust to life in the real world. When the lives they've built come crushing down, they have no choice but to go home. But their parents are planning one last ambitious performance piece, and it's definitely happening, whether the kids want to participate or not. What follows is a decision on whether family or art is more important. An irreverent and observational look at family life that has been compared to The Royal Tenenbaums, this is a heart-warming book that will find you both laughing and crying from page to page.
