Fathers and Sons: Essays, Letters, Memories

How a son's eyes were opened to his father's greatness, and how this son (now a father) realized what fatherhood does to a man. Variegated stories that dive deep into the emotions, experiences and exhilaration that defines fatherhood.

A quote from a passionate letter in this short book: "In principle, I would want every father to be reunited with his sons: [It] would result in more happiness, more peace throughout the world, fewer enmities, less hatred, fewer violent acts, fewer suicides. [For] we are all either fathers, or the children of fathers."

About how children become a part of your flesh and blood, making separation, whether at the Mexican border or elsewhere, traumatic, a preview of books to come, and a book that may fit Kafka's ideal of being "an axe for the frozen sea inside us."
