Christa blogged on this book and there's not much more I can add. Annie and Buster (Child A and Child B) grew up performing in their parents' "Happenings." As adults they do not cope well with their lives. Flashbacks to their childhood and their forced participation in what their parents call art, give some insight into their dysfunction. In the end it's hard to tell whether they or their parents win the prize for the most dysfunctional. My money is on the parents. I was somewhat reminded of Augusten Burroughs' stories of his dysfunctional upbringing.
