Mr. Bones
By Paul Theroux

A father revolts against the constraints of his life by creating a minstrel-show character who torments his family. a divorced man suffers a breakdown when raccoons infest his property. Beneath the deceptive elegance of these stories, land mines lurk, and Theroux detonates them with gusto.
