Summer of Deliverance: A Memoir of Father and Son

Elizabeth HardwickA heartbreaking, eloquent memoir by the son of the heartbreaking, eloquent poet, James Dickey.David KirbyThe New York Times Book ReviewAngry, affectionate...both gut-wrenching and hypnotic. A father-son conflict worthy of the pen of Sophocles.Joseph P. KahnThe Boston GlobeAs unsentimental a father-son memoir as one can imagine. James Dickey may have died a broken man, but he was given a tremendous opportunity to get at least one thing right. By the evidence of this book, he succeeded, too.David BottomsThe Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionAn exquisite balance of blistering candor and healing grace....Writing so wonderful that it simply transcends the limits of the genre.
