Book Synopsis
Rooted in the age-old problem of the fraught relationship between fathers and sons, this title is about the power of books and theater, the excitement of stories in a young man's life, and the transformative magic of words and performance.

Trade Review
"A testament to Lerer's passion for his work, this wise, literary, and allusion-dense book will strike a sympathetic chord with all involved in teaching or reading literature." (Library Journal) "The brevity of Lerer's short memoir... only increases the narrative's power to unsettle and ultimately move us.... The result is arresting." (San Francisco Chronicle) "An affecting memoir.... Thoughtful and deeply felt... an intellectually and emotionally satisfying reading experience." (Booklist)"
