Everyone's Pretty by Lydia Millet

Set against the backdrop of Los Angeles, this satirical novel delves into the chaotic lives of a dysfunctional family, each member grappling with their own eccentricities and obsessions. The narrative weaves through the perspectives of a washed-up journalist, his estranged siblings, and their peculiar father, all of whom are entangled in a web of bizarre events and personal crises. With sharp wit and dark humor, the story explores themes of identity, media influence, and the quest for meaning in a world that often feels superficial and absurd.
