"Bingo Under The Crucifix puts the fun back into dysfunctional! Chloe, a chain-smoking dollmaker renowned for her line of Bingo Ladies, learns from her equally eccentric parents that her Spiderman-obsessed adult brother has reverted into a newborn at the news of his impending fatherhood. Now it's up to Chloe to deliver him back into the world of grown-ups.

Meanwhile, the local homecoming queen is headed for her royal crowning - right after she makes a pit stop in the locker room to pop out a bouncing ten-pound baby boy, who promptly disappears. This satire strikes at the bittersweet heart of our real-world responsibilities gone haywire."--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description

The twisted, eccentric characters in this hilarious metaphor-stretching novel are ripped straight from today’s tabloids: a man obsessed with Spiderman, whose ir-responsibility has reached such epic proportions that he literally reverts to being a newborn; and a homecoming queen who secretly gives birth in the locker room during halftime, then claims the infant was kidnapped by aliens. Foos’s satirical genius strikes funny, bittersweet chords about women, men, and responsibility gone haywire.
