Description

The Binewskis are a circus family whose matriarch and patriarch have bred their own exhibit of human oddities. Their offspring include Arturo with flippers for limbs, Iphy and Elly the Siamese twins, Oly the albino hunchback, and Chick, whose mysterious gifts make him the family's most precious asset. As the Binewskis take their act across the US, they inspire both fanatical devotion and murderous revulsion. Within their own family, Machiavellian sibling rivalry simmers, threatening to destroy the delicate balance of their freakish world. This novel throws a sulfurous light on our notions of the freakish and the normal, the beautiful and the ugly. A National Book Award Finalist, Geek Love is a powerful exploration of love, family, and what it means to be different.
