Description
The Flitting is a poignant and deeply personal memoir about the complex bond between a father and son. When Ben Masters' father is confined to the house, he is unable to follow the butterfly season for the first time since his childhood, and his son must take on the task of reporting back on the natural world.
This unforgettable book charts a terminal summer when butterflies become a way for father and son to talk about masculinity, memory, identity, and loss. As they explore the world of butterflies, they also delve into the lives and works of literary figures, including Vladimir Nabokov and Joni Mitchell, to name a few.
The result is an intensely authentic portrait of a father and son sharing passions, lessons, and regrets as they run out of time. A beautifully written and deeply moving book that explores the complexities of human relationships and the power of nature to bring us together.
