Duke of Deception (Vintage)
Editorial Reviews
Review
Abundant with the complexities and contradictions of family sympathy...First-rate autobiography, conscientious and intimate....It is as lucid and complicated...as a good novel."
-- John Irving, The New York Times Book Review
"An enormously moving story of familial love and hate and coming-of-age...No man can finish this book without resolving to take stock of his relationship with his own father....The claim on the reader is very large indeed."
-- Newsday
"Beautifully written...rich in anecdote...resonant with conflicting emotions, from adoration to anger, from gratitude to guilt, from pride to pity."
-- Village Voice
