In "Family Life," Russell Banks first novel, he transforms the
dramas of domesticity into the story of a royal family in a
mythical contemporary kingdom. Life inside this kingdom includes
the king (dubbed the Hearty or the Bluff ), who squeals angrily as
is his wont; the queen, who, while pondering the mirror in her
chambers, decides to write a book; and three adolescent princes who
are, respectively, a superb wrestler, a fanatical sports car
driver, and a sullen drunk.
Then there are the mysterious Green Man with a thing for
princes; the Loon, who lives in a tree house designed by
Christopher Wren; and a whole slew of murders, mayhem, coups,
debauches, world tours, and love and loss and laughter.

A group of fathers meets each morning at a local Tribeca coffee
shop after walking their children to school. The sound engineer
looks uncomfortably like the guy on the sex offender posters around
the neighborhood; the memoirist is on the verge of being outed for
fabricating his experiences; and the chef puts his quest for the
perfect quail-egg frittata before his children's well-being. Over
the course of a single school year, we are privy to their secrets,
passions, and hopes, and learn of their dreams deferred as they
confront harsh realities about ambition, wealth, and sex. And we
meet their wives and children, who together with these men are
discovering the hard truths and welcome surprises that accompany
family, marriage, and real estate at midlife.
