Was he thinking, do I have to be this kind of boy to survive? Is
this what being a boy is? As a boy growing up on the south coast of
England, Howard Cunnell's sense of self was dominated by his
father's absence. Now, years later, he is a father, and his
daughter is becoming his son. Starting with his own childhood in
the Sussex beachlands, Howard tells the story of the years of
self-destruction that defined his young adulthood and the escape he
found in reading and the natural world. Still he felt compelled to
destroy the relationships that mattered to him. Saved by love and
responsibility, Cunnell charts his journey from anger to
compassion, as his daughter Jay realizes he is a boy, and a son.
Most of all, this is a story about love - its necessity and
fragility, and its unequalled capacity to enable us to be who we
are. Deeply thoughtful, searingly honest and exquisitely lyrical,
Fathers & Sons is an exploration of fatherhood, masculinity,
authenticity and family.
