ANANSI BOYS

When Fat Charlies dad named something, it stuck. Like calling Fat Charlie Fat Charlie. Even now, twenty years later, Charlie Nancy cant shake that name, one of the many embarrassing gifts his father bestowed - before he dropped dead on a karaoke stage and ruined Fat Charlies life. Mr. Nancy left Fat Charlie things. Things like the tall, good-looking stranger who appears on Charlies doorstep, who appears to be the brother he never knew. A brother as different from Charlie as night is from day, a brother whos going to show Charlie how to lighten up and have a little fun ... just like Dear Old Dad. And all of a sudden, life starts getting very interesting for Fat Charlie.
