Most people who've first picked this up like a year ago or so I'd assume were introduced to it from its film adaptation, American Fiction, which I have not seen. It's an absolutely insane book front to back- while the family drama itself is nothing too special, the book within a book, My Pafology, is one of the most insane things I think I've ever read. An absolutely fantastic book, even if the family drama bits do unfortunately fall in the realm of being pretty Hollywood-ified, a sin primarily committed by Gen X and Baby Boomer authors for whatever reason. Read it!
