And when did you last see your father? When did you? Was it last
weekend or last Christmas? Was it before or after he exhaled his
last breath? When was he able to recognize you, or complete a task
(changing a lightbulb, fixing your bookshelves) without having to
be helped himself? And was it him really, in the fullness of his
being - or was it a version of him, shaped by your own expectations
and disappointments? Blake Morrison's subject is universal: the
life and death of a parent, a father at once beloved and
exasperating, competent and inept, charming and infuriating,
domineering and terribly vulnerable. But this memoir's central
concern is identity. In reading about Dr. Arthur Morrison, we ask
ourselves the same searching questions that Blake Morrison poses.
Can we ever see our parents as themselves? Or are they forever
defined by the lens of a child's or a teenager's eyes? What are the
secrets of their lives, and why do they spare us that knowledge?
How can we ever know our fathers in their other incarnations - as
friends, as husbands and lovers, as employees? And when they die,
what do they take with them that cannot be recovered or inherited?
