Synopsis from Amazon

This is Blake Morrison's memoir of his father, Dr Arthur Morrison. It shows a son asking who his father really was. Was he the man seen through a seven-year-old's eyes, jumping queues, or the sexual charmer seen by a 17-year-old? Or was he the figure, so hard to recognize, on his death-bed?

RELEASE NOTES:

Taking to the Cherry Tree meet on Saturday to pass onto other BCers.

Found in a box of books in our spare bedroom - it must have been brought back from the Cherry Tree and then missed when I was doing all the journal entries! Sorry if you wondered where it had gone!

An intriguing book about a father as seen through his son's eyes. Informative, interesting and engaging, I enjoyed this book, even if I did read it a bit at a time over a couple of months.

Worth a read, I reckon :o)

I'll release it somewhere, or I might take it to a meet.

RELEASE NOTES:

I'm taking this book to the meet up tomorrow lunchtime. If you want to read it, come along and take a look!

Picked this up at the Oxfordshire meet up on Saturday, mainly because of the Nick Hornby write up on the front, and also because it's quite short and I don't feel like getting into any long novels right now.

Not at all what I expected. I guess when I first saw the Nick Hornby quote I thought this would be a funny book. They when I looked a bit more closely I thought it would be a terribly sad book. In fact it was a little bit funny and a little bit sad, but not the emotional roller coaster I would have expected given the subject matter. Either the author managed to remain remarkably detached or I just didn't understand him. An interesting and thought provoking book none the less. I shall release it this weekend somewhere in the New Forest.

RELEASE NOTES:

released on my birthday in a phone box outside the Guildhall shortly before a hail storm.
