Sobre este artículo
Back Bay Books, 2008.. Very Good/Unknown. Octavo, softcover, hint of wear to cover else near fine in black and white pictorial wraps. A father's stunning secret sparks a life-transforming journey in this story of race, identity, and the American dream. Broyard'sparents, New Orleans Creoles, had moved to Brooklyn and began to pass as white in order to get work, he had learned to conceal his racial identity. As he grew older and entered the ranks of the New York literary elite, he maintained the facade. Now his daughter Bliss tries to make sense of his choices and the impact of this revelation on her own life. She searches out the family she never knew in New York and New Orleans, and considers the profound consequences of racial identity. With unsparing candor and nuanced insight, Broyard chronicles her evolution from sheltered WASP to a woman of mixed race ancestry. 544 pages.
