This heartfelt homosexual memoir about an grownup son uncovering his father’s secrets and techniques is “a cross between Dickens’s David Copperfield, Rousseau’s Confessions, and the new pornography” (Donald Windham).
When his father died, J. R. Ackerley was shocked to find that he had led a secret life. And after Ackerley himself died, he left a shock of his personal—this coolly thought of, unsparingly sincere account of his quest to search out out the entire reality concerning the man who had at all times eluded him in life. But Ackerley’s pursuit of his father can also be an exploration of the self—making My Father and Myself a pioneering file, without delay sexually specific and emotionally charged, of life as a homosexual man. This witty, sorrowful, and stunning e-book is a traditional of twentieth-century memoir.
