The Family Chao is a 2022 novel by the American novelist Lan Samantha Chang, published by W. W. Norton.

The rest of the family includes Leo's wife Winnie and their three sons: Dagou, Ming, and James.

"[8] The Guardian praised "the way the novel dramatises the gap between how a family wants to be seen, and its messier inner realities," terming it "a wonderful comedy of American consumption.

"[11] The Asian Review of Books wrote: "Chang's debt to the original Dostoevsky story is largely limited to the characterization of the brothers and their overbearing father.

"[12] In 2023, the novel was announced joint winner of the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award for Fiction, alongside Geraldine Brooks' Horse.
