Review
For a so-called "Catholic novelist," the revelation that her father was born a Jew qualifies as something of a literary bomblet; that his past was a tissue of fabrications, that he became an anti-Semite and reactionary, is a revelation that haunts this unusual book. Gordon's search for her father, who died when she was seven, leads her to libraries and archives, to interviews with his associates, to family birth records and finally to the extraordinary project of disinterring and reburying her father's remains. The search becomes a literary quest in which Gordon transforms herself by transforming her images of her father.
From the Back Cover
Mary Gordon's father died when she was seven. For a long time she was content to remember David Gordon as the man who had loved her 'more than God' and then vanished. In this book on of our finest novelists sets out to retrieve her father from the mausoleum of mourning. What she discovers--in libraries, archives, and her own memory--tests her credulity and her forgiveness.
