Title Our father who wasn't there
Published Melbourne : Scribe, 2010
Description 225 p. ; 24 cm.
Summary Can a memoir begin without memories? Can a father be invented? When David Carlin was only six months old, his father, Brian, died. It was the 1960s in isolated Western Australia, a place in which emotions were discreetly veiled, women did not attend funerals--and suicide was a sin. Brian became a mysteriously absent figure in David's family story, hardly spoken of again. In this masterfully rendered memoir, David moves like a ghost through time and place, deftly weaving a story from what he has always known, and from all that he will never know.
