Cook. Thirty-five years later, his son set out to look for him. Funny, moving, and beautifully written, this is the story of a father's absence, told partly through the rich and exciting mix of biography, autobiography, and intellectual and social history.

Finally, it is a recovery, from death, of reasons for living.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open Road Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108389634288,"sku":"9781497633636","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781497633636_p0.jpg?v=1763702213","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781497633636","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
