“Here is another magnificent work of non-fiction literature from the master craftsman Paul Hendrickson. Like the others, this book is scrupulously honest, deeply felt and beautifully written. But now he turns his art to a timeless subject: a son’s quest to know—really know—his father.” —David Von Drehle, author of The Book of Charlie
"[A book] to brighten the rest of the season.... [Paul] Hendrickson, a former Washington Post staff writer, has written acclaimed books about Ernest Hemingway and Robert McNamara.... In his latest, he turns to the subject of his own family." —The Washington Post
