Shadow Man, The: A Daughter’s Search for Her Father; A Memoir

A very unusual Preface on this book, am sure you will find it so, too. ;-) phantom ghost scuff from pocket removal, FLEP, else content appears as new, unopened, unread and unblemished with very good+ DJ displaying no significant surface/edge wear as shown, with Taped ID at Heel of spine. Back end flap has been misfolded but straightened out.

n this searing memoir, the author of Final Payments and Men and Angels unearths startling truths about her father, a man who was both a devoted, imaginative, and loving parent and a man desperate to cover up the underside of the immigrant's encounter with the American dream. A brilliant book about memory and reality, loss and love.

The Shadow Man is personal memoir elevated to art.

The book traces Gordon's attempt to learn about and understand her father who died when she was 7. A Jew who converted to Catholicism, he is a more elusive character than she ever imagined when she began her search. She discovers that his life was not what she had believed. The most shocking revelation was that he wrote for anti-semitic publications in the 1930s. Ultimately she cannot resolve the puzzle of his life. The book is honest about the limitations of understanding another life, even that of a parent, but this lesson leaves the reader unsatisfied, still wanting more resolution to the puzzle of her father's life Memoir
