From the author of the Oprah Book Club Pick Dream State, a debut novel that is a wildly funny, heartbreaking, and thoroughly original portrait of an American family.
Warren Ziller moved his family to Southern California in search of a charmed life, and to all appearances, he found it: a gated community not far from the beach, amid the affluent splendor of the 1980s. But the Zillers' American dream is about to be rudely interrupted. Warren has squandered their savings on a bad real estate investment, which he conceals from his wife, Camille, who misreads his secrecy as a sign of an affair. Their children, Dustin, Lyle, and Jonas, have grown as distant as satellites, too busy with their own betrayals and rebellions to notice their parents' distress. When tragedy strikes, the Zillers are forced to move to Warren's abandoned housing development in the desert. In this comically bleak new home, each must reckon with what's led them there and who's to blameand whether they can summon the forgiveness needed to hold the family together.
\With penetrating insights into modern life and an uncanny eye for everyday absurdities, Eric Puchner delivers a brilliant first novel.
