The Great Perhaps by Joe Meno
Set against the backdrop of a world teetering on the brink of chaos, this novel delves into the lives of the Casper family, each member grappling with their own fears and uncertainties. The father, a paleontologist, is obsessed with finding a prehistoric squid, while the mother, a high school teacher, struggles with her own disillusionment. Their two daughters navigate the tumultuous waters of adolescence, each seeking meaning in a seemingly indifferent universe. Through a blend of humor and poignancy, the story explores themes of existential dread, the search for purpose, and the complexities of familial bonds.
