"Ian Frazier entertained with 'Dating Your Mom' and instructed with 'Great Plains'. Now, in a book of a lifetime, he has concocted that rarest of events, a family reunion worth inviting strangers to attend....Mr. Frazier, in this remarkable history of an unremarkable family, plays both roles, the gossip and the pedant, balances them skillfully, then adds his own insights as a loyal family member, as a family member who has gone astray and left Ohio for Brooklyn and 'The New Yorker', and as an informal historian who sees the mirror images of America and family in each other."Frazier, Ian is the author of 'Family', published 2002 under ISBN 9780312420598 and ISBN 0312420595.
