Ninety-nine brothers assemble in their family home in a surreal, comic novel from the award-winning author of The Verificationist and My Eliot.

The Hundred Brothers is a perfect instance of the work of art that seduces you with its beauty and power and then maddens you with its craziness.--Jonathan Franzen

Rob's there, as are Bob, Tom, Paul, Noah, William, and Nick; Chuck, the prosecutor; Porter, the diarist; Andrew, the civil rights activist; Jason, Joshua, and Jeremiah, each vaguely gloomy; Eli, who spends evenings on the tower; Raymond, who flies his own plane; Hiram, the eldest; and eighty-one more. And Doug, of course, our narrator. In fact, everyone is accounted for except for George, who has disappeared with a woman, to everyone's amazement.

On a colorless day, ninety-nine brothers crowd into their family's library, knocking over lamps and filling the space with male energy, to deal with a problem of a missing urn--an urn filled with their father's ashes.

In turns caustic and funny, The Hundred Brothers is an unruly, dreamlike foray into the agonies of kinship and the inevitable march of decay.
