Fathers, Sons and Brothers The Men in My Family

"This lean midpoint memoir, fleshed out of collected short essays, alternates analysis of the author's male family relations with reflections on his experiences as the married father of two young sons....Lott is good at evoking the mysterious fraternal dynamic, the intensity of a father's love, the ambivalence of being a son and needing at once to accept parental guidance and to find one's own course....Lott has an instinct for the universal and sometimes finds it when he's not diverted by pursuit of everyday, less remarkable truths."Lott, Bret is the author of 'Fathers, Sons and Brothers The Men in My Family' with ISBN 9780671041762 and ISBN 0671041762.
