EBOOK Big Ray
Opis
Big Ray's obesity and his mean temper define him, at least to his family. When Big Ray dies, his son Michael puts his feelings aside, for a while. Five years later a reckoning occurs with the outsized presence of his memory. In this stunning novel a middle aged man comes to terms with his father's death--and with his life. Told in 500 brief entries, the complexity of this searing novel becomes more and more intricate as the son's brave confession moves back and forth between the past and the present, between the father's death and the father's life, between an abusive childhood and an adult understanding. Shot through with humor and insight that will resonate with anyone who has a complicated parental relationship, Big Ray is a staggering family story--at once brutal and tender, beautiful and sickening.
