Growing up with a pair of performance artists as parents is hard. But Buster and Annie managed to survive and finally to escape their parents' antics. When their young adult lives come tumbling down, however, they have no chance but to return home – only to find themselves in the midst of their parents' biggest performance art piece yet when they disappear from an interstate rest stop. In The Family Fang debut novelist Kevin Wilson keeps the reader guessing as to how Buster and Annie will deal with their mom and dad's Royal Tenenbaums-esque antics – and whether the Fangs will ever decide to put the art away and focus on family.
