Fathers

Edición de la obra Fathers

When the editor, writer and literary critic Karl Miller died in 2014, the obituaries spoke of his brilliance and influence. During his tenure at The Spectator, the New Statesman and The Listener, and as co- founder of the London Review of Books, Karl Miller was - over nearly five decades - responsible for steering the national cultural conversation and shaping the careers of some of the finest writers and poets of the second half of the twentieth century. As a child, Sam Miller, though aware of his father's standing in the world, knew his dad primarily as the warm, funny, generous and loving man who raised him. Then, aged seventeen, Sam discovered a secret about his father that would change the way he looked at the world and - after his father's death - lead him to revisit the family history in search of answers to questions he could only now ask. Fathers is the result of that journey; a tender, thoughtful exploration of childhood and parenthood, of friendship, love and loyalty --
