媒体评论

Abundant with the complexities and contradictions of family

sympathy...First-rate autobiography, conscientious and

intimate....It is as lucid and complicated...as a good

novel."

-- John Irving, The New York Times Book Review

"An enormously moving story of familial love and hate and

coming-of-age...No man can finish this book without resolving to

take stock of his relationship with his own father....The claim on

the reader is very large indeed."

-- Newsday

"Beautifully written...rich in anecdote...resonant with conflicting

emotions, from adoration to anger, from gratitude to guilt, from

pride to pity."

-- Village Voice --
