Book Synopsis
A child is a man in small letter, wrote Bishop John Earle in the seventeenth century. His father hath writ him as his own little story. In this title, the writer acknowledges the author of his story while simultaneously reminding us that we all confront the blank page of life on our own, as authors of our lives.

Trade Review
"I couldn't put this book down. 'Memoir' doesn't begin to do it justice. Prospero's Son is a beautifully observed and often haunting reflection about how we get here and what we leave behind." -James Shapiro, author of A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare"
