520 |a Josiah's mother was impregnated with him during an alien abduction in her freshman year of college by the Keymaster of Gozer, a high-ranking official of the planet Parnuckle. Parnucklians, Josiah's mother explained to him often, eat nothing but chocolate, and so too, being part-Parnucklian, would Josiah. Three weeks before his 16th birthday, Josiah is allowed to leave the group home he has been living in for two years and move back in with his mother, who is about to marry Johnson Davis. When Josiah, his mother, Johnson Davis and Johnson Davis' daughter Bree Davis--a prematurely mature girl with her own history of parental betrayal--attempt to live together as an all-American nuclear family, the mythology underpinning all their lives comes chaotically and absurdly unspooled. This startling, stylish, hilarious debut novel explores what happens when we realize how crazy our parents are, and how crazy we were to ever believe them. In Parnucklian for Chocolate, B.H. James has made recognizable and relatable the alien lurking at the heart of so much family life.
