What's wrapped up in Wilson's trim and intriguing narrative isn't a critique of experimental or performance art. Rather, his Fangs are stand-ins for a larger phenomenon: the selling out of one's life and children for the sake of notoriety. (Think Jon and Kate, the O'Neals or any of the reality stars who've made sacrificial lambs out of their family members.) But at least Caleb and Camille raised a pair of talented kids. I'd love to be able to see Annie's movies and read Buster's books, but I'll settle for being Wilson's fan instead.
