M31: A Family Romance is the second novel written by Stephen Wright. First published in 1988 by Harmony Books, it is a dark satire about media and mass culture as filtered through the lens of a fictional family with extraterrestrial ties.

The Los Angeles Times reviewed M31 as “a novel of original and wide ambitions, largely achieved.”[1] Laura Miller proposed in 2004 that the “undersung” M31 is a candidate for the Great American Novel.[2]
