Spoonbenders: A Novel

"Following a singular family of dysfunctional psychics between the 1960s and 1990s, Spoonbenders is a wacky, heartfelt novel, cutting its deck across three generations and shuffling them together with the perils of washed-up secret government agents, aging mobsters and long-distance relationships. From sleazy con-man beginnings to moving accounts of trauma and intimacy, this reads like a game of 52 Pick-Up resolving into a royal flush."
