Like his uncle, who pretended to be a doctor for many years by skipping medical school and simply buying a stethoscope and a white coat.

Or his Coptic priest (who he confessed all his sins to) who was also the local exorcist. Ironically, he was found to have several demons inside him.

In My Family and Other Criminals you will meet these lovable but crazy characters and much more!
