Description:
Graywolf Press, Saint Paul, Minnesota, 2007. First Edition. Softcover (Photographic). Very Good. Photographic paperback binding with dull brown and black coloured titles to the front panel and black coloured titles to the backstrip colour photograph of author to the lower left-hand corner of the rear panel. The author's father was abandoned as a baby and placed on a stranger's doorstep. To cover up this unbearable fact the father created a web of deceit to cover up this shameful fact. John, the author, was the recipient of his father's self-hatred with petty, cruel belittlement and enraged violence. The author learnt to lie back to his father and about his father. An uncomfortable read, that goes into the heart of a father-son relationship. Minor rubbing of the book edges and panels. Very light age toning of the text book edges and pages. A little sunning to the top backstrip edge. Full Number Line. Size: Trade Paperback. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Quantity…
