‘I used to think the world divided between those who have children and those who don’t; now I think it divides between those who’ve lost a parent and those whose parents are still alive.’
This is a memoir about loss, love and death. It is also an unflinching attempt to answer the question: when was Dr Arthur Morrison - the man I recognize to be my father – fully and unequivocally himself? Was it the man seen through an eight-year-old’s eyes, jumping queues, doing deals, embarrassing his family? The man seen by a surly teenager – a sexual charmer, a mad inventor, a DIY enthusiast, a voracious parent? Or the man in pain on his death-bed, the charismatic GP reduced to a helpless patient? As it tries to answer these questions, the book takes its place alongside other classic studies of fathers, such as those by Edmund Gosse, J. R. Ackerley and Philip Roth.
First published in 1993, ‘And When Did You Last See Your Father?’ is a portrait of family life, father-son relationships and bereavement. It became a bestseller, was translated into several languages (including Japanese and Arabic), and inspired a whole genre of confessional memoirs. A new edition, with an afterword by the author, was published in 2006.
And when did you last see your father? won the Waterstone's/Volvo/Esquire Award for Non-Fiction and the JR Ackerley Prize for Autobiography 1993.
between every father and his son, there is a story to be told
评分I founded dozens of similarities, both experimental and emotional, and I thought you would finally see. But you can't, kept distant in a prison. I left it in a strange place as a result with all those words for you, same way as you abandoned me. And there's no beloved father in my world since then and ever after.
