**This way madness lies**: At a mansion in Far Hills, New Jersey, The Winslow family gathers. Among them are two failed actresses, a Beverly Hills babe doctor, a cocaine cowboy, and a man who has spent 21 years posing as his own twin brother. With old man Winslow rumored to be on the verge of death and one of his children plotting murder while another communes with spirits, it promises to be one hell of a reunion. Thomas William Simpson's first novel marks the smashing debut of a soaring literary imagination. The darkly comic story of an outrageous American dynasty and their adventures in the New World, here is a work of fiction that spans generations and complex relationships to create a quirky, uproarious and moving portrair of the American Experience at its very worst and most sublime.
