Amazon.com Reviewp/pstrongAmazon Best Books of the Month, August 2011/strong: For outr?? performance artists, Caleb and Camille Fang, everything in life is secondary to art, including their children. Annie and Buster (popularly known as Child A. and Child B.) are the unwilling stars of their parents?€™ chaotically subversive work. Art is truly a family affair for the Fangs. Years later, their lives in disarray, Annie and Buster reluctantly return home in search of sanctuary?€”only to be caught up in one last performance. iThe Family Fang/i sparkles with Kevin Wilson?€™s inventive dialogue and wonderfully rendered set-pieces that capture the surreal charm of the Fang?€™s most notable work. With this brilliant novel, the family Fang is destined to join the families Tenenbaum and Bluth as paragons of high dysfunction.--Shane Hansanuwatp/pProduct Descriptionp/ppMr. and Mrs. Fang called it art. /ppTheir children called it mischief./ppPerformance 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./ppWhen 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./ppFilled 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, iThe Family Fang/i is a masterfully executed tale that is as bizarre as it is touching./pp/pProduct Descriptionp/ppMr. and Mrs. Fang called it art. /ppTheir children called it mischief./ppPerformance artists Caleb and Camille Fang dedicated themselves to making great art.
