He was always there for me, Jenny Kovacek says in the opening of
the novel After Dad, and indeed, her father is such a charismatic
force in the family that despite his untimely passing, he continues
to have a dynamic impact on his survivors. Set mostly in Southern
California during the tumultuous 1960s, Ralph Cohen's debut novel
tells the stories of the man's three children and widow as they
cope with his loss. Though missing, the father is never far from
their minds, and during critical moments in their lives, he seems
to reach out in various ways, from simple memories of touch and
voice to artifacts left behind to a sense of his ongoing existence.
How each of the family members responds to his lingering presence
leads to results that are by turn comic, tragic and transformative.
Two of the book's chapters appeared previously in literary
magazines, The Connecticut Review and REAL.
