What's the point of a book like this? I think we have had enough of East coast nevrotic characters with questionable ethics and broken family. How many more times we need to hear the story of bad fathers, self involved fathers and a group of siblings with all the usual cast of characters (the straight arrow with inner deviations, the free spirit and on and on). Very poor use of my time, I must admit. Gets two stars instead of one because the author has a decent mastery of the language. If he could only use his writing talent to produce something that is not a reproduction of a Woody Allen movie...
