Geek Love

Book • 2014
'Geek Love' tells the story of the Binewski family, a group of circus performers deliberately bred by their parents to be freaks.

Each child possesses unique and startling physical deformities, such as Siamese twins, a boy with flippers, and a hunchbacked girl.

The novel explores themes of otherness, family dynamics, and the exploitation of the marginalized.

As the Binewskis travel the country, their lives become increasingly complex and fraught with jealousy, betrayal, and tragedy.

Dunn's writing is both grotesque and beautiful, challenging readers to question societal norms and definitions of beauty and normalcy.
