The ecstatic, or, Homunculus [electronic resource] : a novel / Victor LaValle.
Something is wrong with Anthony--our 318-pound hero--and it's getting worse. A monster has caught his uncle and his mother; now it wants Anthony. Mental illness has been transmitted through his family's blood. The three women in his life--his mother, younger sister, and grandmother--find him naked and disoriented in his off-campus college apartment and take him home to Queens, each determined to fix him in her own peculiar way. But his presence soon turns their house into a semisuburban asylum.
