The Punch - Softcover

Brotherly love never hurt so good. * Kirkus Reviews * Like an American Martin Amis, Noah Hawley expertly rides the line between hilarity and horror. * Tom Barbash * [Hawley's] portrait of a dysfunctional family is at once insane, tender and hilarious. * People *

From the creator and writer of the Emmy Award-winning series Fargo.The Henry brothers could not be more different. Scott is stuck in a dead-end job and has taken to hanging out in some of San Francisco's seedier dives. David, on the other hand, is a successful travelling salesman, and has not one happy family, but two (one on each coast). Tensions run high as their father's death brings them together on a road-trip to New York, especially when their alcoholic mother is along for the ride and thinks nothing of revealing a long-held family secret ...Noah Hawley's savagely funny and ultimately uplifting novel explores what it really means to be a family.
