Non-Fiction Memoir
Edward Cooper is a hard man to know.Dour and exuberant by
turns, his moods dictate the always uncertain climate of the
Cooper household. Balding, octogenarian, and partial to a
polyester jumpsuit, Edward Cooper makes an unlikely literary
muse. But to his son he looms larger than life, an
overwhelming and baffling presence. Edward's ambivalent regard for his son is the springboard
from which this deeply intelligent memoir takes flight. By
the time the author receives his inheritance (which includes
a message his father taped to the underside of a safe
deposit box), and sees the surprising epitaph inscribed on
his father's headstone, The Bill from My Father has become a
penetrating meditation on both monetary and emotional
indebtedness, and on the mysterious nature of memory and love.
