There are as many wacky ideas for novels as there are novelists. More, actually; many novelists move closer to the outer edges of imagination (theirs; ours) with each book. As proof, I submit "The Family Chao," the third novel by Lan Samantha Chang, in which she reimagines Fyodor Dostoevsky's epic "The Brothers Karamazov" as a contemporary Chinese American family drama.

There are notable parallels to The Brothers Karamazov in Lan Samantha Chang's new novel about three brothers and the contentious relationship between them and their domineering father.
