A dysfunctional Manhattan family—cross-dressing father, pot-dealing stepmother and thrill-seeking, graffiti-artist daughter—go on a trip to Nepal, where they take different spiritual paths, some leading to insanity and prison, others to sainthood.
"This is a beautiful novel populated with characters that have nothing more to give of themselves than everything, and at all times. Kali's Day travels exquisitely through (desperate) straits of violence, sex, sensuality, addiction, depravity, transcendental awakenings and physical transformations. The writing is passionate and precise. Bonny Finberg has crafted a pulsating and vibrantly alive place for all of us to dwell." —Donald Breckenridge, fiction editor of The Brooklyn Rail and author of This Young Girl Passing
