Long Island Compromise by Taffy Brodesser-Akner

 

Very readable novel about some very ugly characters.

In the end though it was quite long and compounded by the large type edition from the library, i really enjoyed it. 

It seemed like a revelation to them, but really the revelation was only that someone took the time to sit and listen to them and appear to absorb their human condition instead of ignoring it. [120]

The last thing Carl saw on this Earth before he closed his eyes were the anguished faces of the people who had loved him most in the world - the people who fretted over him and live symbiotically with him and existed with him inside the unique syzygy that is a family.  the whole universe lines itself up to make a family, and the family takes it from there. [650]
