Fathers + Sons,
By A. Ross (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Elephant (Hardcover)
This is a pretty interesting father/son story, told over the course of 40 years or so by the son. Set in Bradford (a formerly industrial city in Yorkshire), it all revolves around the son's attempt to grapple with his father's nature: which is that of a boozing, womanizing, fun-loving, extrovert, life-of-the-party, war hero, scoundrel, con-man. In a sense, he never escapes his father's shadow, with many of the same failings. None of this is all that fascinating in and of itself, however, Rayner keeps it popping along at a good rate as he switches back and forth in time, bringing up episodes from the past in cracking language. It's engaging and definitely likely to be more of interest to fathers and sons.
