Descripción:
New York, New York, USA: Knopf Publishing Group, The, 2001. BD3 - A trade paperback book in very good+ condition. An unread, tight, clean, sound copy in black and white photo illustrated black and white wraps with only very, very minor overall shelf wear mainly in the form of some very, very light soiling on the right outside paper edges. A memoir of a writer growing up at the edge of post war Los Angeles. The glorious promise of his family is protrayed as well as the battering it receives from silence, resentment, misdirection and eventually the death of his beloved older brother in an explosion. The author redeems these complications and failures by capturing both expectant childhood and adult regret, which he sees as at the heart of the American dream. 192p.. Trade Paperback. Very Good/No Jacket as Issued. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Información de la editorial
Descripción de la solapa
A beautifully rendered portrait of family and loss, of childhood and manhood by a supremely gifted writer evaluating the sum of his experiences and emerging with a moving work of the highest level.
J. D. Dolan was vacationing in Paris when he received a telephone call telling him to fly home immediately. A horrible accident had put his big brother John in a Phoenix burn unit with third degree burns over 90 percent of his body. As a child in 1960s Los Angeles, J. D. shared with John the unspoken bond that exists only between brothers. But as time passed and their excursions together ended, so did their conversation. For reasons known to John alone, they existed with each other only in silence, and now, in what would be their final days together, there would be precious few opportunities to talk. Phoenix is J. D. Dolan's personal reflections on the agonizing weeks spent coming to terms with his brother's fate, and his attempt to bring their relationship into perspective.
