My Father Before Me: A Memoir,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
A Library Journal Best Memoir of 2016An awardwinning poet offers a multigenerational portrait of an American familyweaving together the lives of his ancestors, his parents, and his own coming of age in the 60s and 70s in the wake of his fathers suicide, in this superbly written, fiercely honest (Nick Flynn) memoir.The fifth of eight children, Chris Forhan was born into a family of silence. He and his siblings learned, without being told, that certain thoughts and feelings were not to be shared. On the evenings his father didnt come home, the rest of the family would eat dinner without him, his whereabouts unknown, his absence pronounced but not mentioned. And on a cold night in 1973, just before Christmas, Forhans father killed himself in the carport.Forty years later, Forhan bravely considers the way he is and is not his fathers son (Larry Watson), digging into his familys past and finding within each generation the same abandonment, loss, and silence in which he was raised. Like Ian Frazier in Family or Frank McCourt in Angelas Ashes, Forhan shows his family members as both a part and a product of their time. My Father Before Me is a family history, an investigation into a death, and a stirring portrait of growing up in an Irish Catholic childhood, all set against a backdrop of America from the Great Depression to the Ramones.Marrying the literary scope of memoirists Geoffrey Wolff and J.R. Moehringer with the intensity of family novels like The Corrections and We Are Not Ourselves, My Father Before Me is the kind of epic, immersive memoir that comes along once in a decade.
