Joshua Royalton, the irresistibly eccentric 22-year-old narrator of The Big Book of Misunderstanding, asks himself this question with an open pill bottle in his trembling hand. To come up with his answer, Josh leads readers on a darkly funny jaunt through the collective adolescence of his whole family. The Royaltons are "like Norman Rockwell run amok, simultaneously wholesome and perverse."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
