When Julius Harris is diagnosed with terminal cancer at the age of 55, he sets out to make amends for his past mistakes, most notably leaving a wife and three sons 20 years ago. As he races to reunite the family he once lost, he finds his sons are now men facing trials of their own -- trials that resonate with the impact of their father's abandonment so many years ago. With a compassionate voice that takes inspiration from his personal family history, R.M. Johnson's compelling novel provides a provocative glimpse into the ever-growing problem of absentee fathers as his characters grapple with a subject that will forever be an issue of great complexity and debate: what it means to be a man.

DESCRIPTION - RM Johnson's extraordinary debut is a stirring family portrait that resonates with emotion and wit, as a father faces death - and the three sons he abandoned so many years before. 'Mr. Harris, I'm sorry, but you have cancer.' Although devastated to learn he has just one year to live, fifty-five-year-old Julius Harris has always known that the day would come when he would pay for walking out on his wife and three children twenty years earlier. Now, with a sudden and passionate determination to make his family whole again, Julius begins trying to find a way back to his sons. Caleb, the youngest, struggling to support a son and make his way in arelentless world, couldn't care less about his own absentee father. Middleson Marcus can't abide even his father's memory, which gets in the wayof his committing to the one woman who has turned his life around. And Austin, Julius' eldest child, so adores what he remembers of his father that he's following in his footsteps, abandoning his wife and children justas Julius had done. Inspired by RM Johnson's own fragile family history, The Harris Men is his poignant exploration of the increasing problem of absentee fathers - and of the compromises made by the families they leave behind. As the Harris men grapple with their fears and their choices, Johnson gets to the very heart of what it means to be a man. inventory #26484. Nº de ref. del artículo: z26484
