«Todas as famílias são psicóticas» is the black comedy novel by Douglas Coupland, published by Editorial Teorema in paperback (348 pages, in Portuguese).
Set in 2001, it follows the Drummond family, gathered at Cape Canaveral to witness Sarah's space launch. The reunion spirals into chaotic and illegal situations —blackmail, weapons and the black market— portraying family dysfunction with an acerbic tone and a critical view of contemporary culture.

For readers of contemporary fiction with a taste for satire and corrosive stories about families.
