“Remember the first time your dad told you a secret that made you see him as a complete person? That happens on every page. Family often inspires art, but rarely are the results as generous as they are in this slyly funny book.”
—Chris L. Terry, author of Black Card
“Outsmarts sadness & death.”
—Jerome Charyn, Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, and author of Big Red
“A playful family saga written in Beat-evoking free verse. I heartily recommend taking this breezy California ride.”
—Daniel Pinchbeck, author of Breaking Open the Head
“I sent my Dad a letter in the mail once and all I got back was a restraining order. This magic correspondence makes me dwell on my own luvly Dad, a bit older now. And at the same time wish, that I end up in the Gold lineage next time round.”
—Robert Sheehan, actor & author of Playing Dead
