Letter to my father - Paperback

In his own version of Kafka's Letter to Father, Bernard Marin reflects on fatherhood: his own experience as the son of a distant and angry father, and as a loving father himself. Recalling his father's gambling, his anger, his indifference, Bernard is surprised to discover happiness in the time he spent with his father at their nursery, surrounded by plants. Both men were called upon to fight, but the outcomes were very different. Ultimately Bernard comes to terms with who his father was, and makes his peace.
