Produktbeschreibung
One in four boys do not live with a father in the United States, and two million children have no meaningful contact with their fathers in the United Kingdom. In New Zealand, one in six births have no registered father. Echoes from Fathers to Sons spans a period of one hundred and twenty odd years, focusing on the influence of fathers on their sons. It is a fascinating collection of photographs, poetry, paintings, stories and transcripts supporting a social commentary about the qualities and values of those times. There are tales of wartime experiences when the father had so many crickets in his beard he could not sleep at night, and a man's admiration for lice because scratching at one saved him from a German sniper's bullet.
Autorenporträt
Stuart writes in the same fashion as he distils Gin and Whisky at Fenton Arts Collective & Distillery in Stratford, New Zealand. Flavours are distilled to draw out stories that make one ponder, laugh, wept, imagine and reflect on what it is to be human. This book was inspired by Stuart's novel Dante Fog where the central character must return to his childhood to discover the secrets of his father's past life.
