For the first time, Michael Frayn, the 'master of what is seriously funny,'* turns his humor and narrative genius on his own family's story, to recreate the world that made him who he isWhether he is deliriously funny or philosophically profound, as a novelist and a playwright Michael Frayn has concerned himself with the ordinary life lived by erring humans, which is always more extraordinary than people think. In My Father's Fortune, Frayn reveals the original exemplar of the extraordinaryordinary life: his father, Tom Frayn.A clever lad, a roofing salesman with a winning smile and a racetrack vocabulary, Tom Frayn emerged undaunted from a childhood spent in two rooms with six other people, all of them deaf. And undaunted he stayed, through German rockets, feckless inlaws, and his own increasing deafness; through the setback of a son as bafflingly slowwitted as the father was quick on his feet; through the shockingly sudden tragedy that darkened his life.Tom Frayn left his son little more than three watches and two inkandwash prints. But the true fortune he passed on was the great humor and spirit revealed in this beguiling memoir.* Anthony Burgess
