Hardcover. Condición: As New. 1st Edition. As new condition beige boards, black spine, gold front cover decoration, and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Mary Gordon; Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; To the Reader and About the Author. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and black-and-white photographic front and rear endpapers. "I was moved, overwhelmed, knocked out by Mary Gordon's book. It is so incredibly brave, so brilliantly intense, dazzling. A masterpiece, I think." - Alice Adams. "An amazingly frank and wholly absorbing journey of exploration." - Alison Lurie. "Elegantly and luminously written." - Margaret Drabble. "My father died when I was seven years old. I've always thought that was the most important thing anyone could know about me." The beloved, lost father - the Shadow Man: in this searing memoir, one of America's finest writers discovers the truth about the man whose romantic image defined her life. But who was David Gordon really? In Mary Gordon's memories of him, he was an erudite and charming man: an intellectual, a writer and publisher, a Harvard dropout and Jazz Age bohemian. But at midlife she began to question these loving memories and to go in search of the man whose presence - and absence - haunted her life. Unburying startling truths, Gordon discovers both a devoted, inventive, and loving father and a person desperate to cover up the underside of the immigrant's encounter with the American dream. As Gordon tracks her father - in the archives, in libraries, in the middle of America - she uncovers lies, despair, madness: a man who lied about many things, including his date and place of birth, his native language, his family, his education. A Jew born in the last years of the nineteenth century, he became a convert to Catholicism and to right-wing politics, a literary critic who was also a pornographer, and a vicious anti-Semite. As a realistic portrait of her father emerges, Mary Gordon reevaluates herself in the light of these painful discoveries about her heritage and past. Like Mary McCarthy's Memories of a Catholic Girlhood; Vladimir Nabokov's Speak, Memory; Geoffrey Wolff's The Duke of Deception; and Tobias Wolff's This Boy's Life, The Shadow Man is personal memoir elevated into art, a brilliant, eloquent, and triumphant book about memory and reality, childhood and maturity, loss and love." - from the inner front jacket flap. "A searing memoir.Beautiful, painful, shocking, a profound exploration of love, memory, shame, recuperation - a remarkable work." - Kirkus Reviews. "A harrowing search for honesty, as much about Gordon herself as about her trickster immigrant father.In an age of banal identity memoirs, The Shadow Man stands out as a moving and stringent work of art." - Sean Wilentz, Professor of History, Princeton University. "Mary Gordin is a writer of enormous power and keen generosity. She has written an important American memoir, and added an essential piece to our everlasting puzzle of immigration and assimilation." - Patricia Hampl. Langotsky, Lilly (book design); Hall Barnaby (jacket photograph manipulation) (ilustrador).…
