Cousin’s Club, a satirical novel, is about the least successful Jewish family in America and their odd solution to change their fortunes. The matriarch consults medieval texts and determines that the next child born to the family will have a great mind. And because no one family is smart enough to raise him alone, he will be passed around from household to household, to gain the collected wisdom of everyone. Among the many characters are his birth father who conjures up inventions that have already been invented and Aunt Georgia and Unkle Traktor, Trotskyists who are unsuccessful in their need to be blacklisted. Other characters include Cousin Tummler, an unfunny comic, and his wife, the volatile Muriel, who are parents of a Buddhist and potential serial killer. The book is set in 1950’s Brooklyn and the sharp dialogue and absurd situations add to the enjoyment of Cousin's Club.
