The most disastrous family reunion in the history of fiction. The Drummond family, reunited for the first time in years, has gathered near
Cape Canaveral to watch the launch into space of their beloved daughter and sister, Sarah. Against the
Technicolor unreality of
Florida's finest tourist attractions, the
Drummonds stumble into every illicit activity under the tropical sun-kidnapping, blackmail, gunplay, and
black market negotiations, to name a few. But even as the Drummonds' lives spin out of control, Coupland reminds us of their humanity at every turn, hammering out a hilarious masterpiece with the keen eye of a
cultural critic and the heart and soul of a gifted storyteller. He tells not only the characters' stories but also the story of our times--thalidomide,
AIDS, born-again
Christianity, drugs, divorce, the
Internet-all bound together with the familiar glue of family love and madness.
