Description
This poignant and deeply personal memoir explores the complex relationship between an adult son and his father, revealing secrets and surprises that challenge everything he thought he knew about the man who had always eluded him.
Written with wit, sorrow, and beauty, J.R. Ackerley's account is a pioneering record of life as a gay man, one that is both sexually explicit and emotionally charged. It is a story of self-discovery and exploration, as Ackerley sets out to uncover the truth about his father's life.
This powerful and thought-provoking book is a testament to the enduring power of family relationships and the human need for understanding and connection.
