My Father, the Things, and Death is a book about grief and loss, about a generation, a time, but also a book that tells how we remember. "A person lives as long as others remember them. Perhaps that’s why I think of my father more often than when he was alive. Because the certainty of his existence is missing. What kind of memories are they? What do they have to do with the things in his life, with the objects that surrounded him day by day? The longer I think of my dead father, the more his things speak to me." My Father, the Things, and Death is a book about memory, unlike any we have read before. A book about the dead father, a book about a generation, about a time, but also a book that tells how we remember. When memory speaks, the things speak. There is the armchair that bears witness to his passion for football.
