Opis

From the image of a small boy entranced by his mother's GI escort, to the portrait of an adult writer trying to piece together a defining image of his late father, this book presents stories that conjure up the memories and events that make a man. It uncovers vulnerable selves, moments of innocence or shame, unfinished business, and more.

Recenzje

Remarkable for its range and unsettling dynamism...in their subtlety, power and poetic finesse they are as good as any being written Sunday Times
