Description
This novel is a lovely valentine to men who discover later in life, that they have a child. and in particular, a necessary narrative of a happily gay man/dad. I also recommend the audible version. This book should be required in any literature class addressing families structures and should be taught in all lgbtq classes at the university level. Dr Toni.
Lynn Pinchas, a fifty-year-old gay man is approached by a younger man, named Mark, who appears out of nowhere and claims he is Lynn's son. Is this a scam? Apparently, Lynn's father had taken him to a female prostitute when he was eighteen to "prove" his son wasn't gay. Could Mark's mother actually be this prostitute? Through DNA testing, various scenarios are revealed as to the authenticity of Mark's claim. And just when you think you've figured out the mystery, a fifty-year-old secret held by Lynn's dead mother is revealed.
This rollercoaster journey delves into Lynn's abusive father, Jack, along with Lynn's struggle with his gayness and relationships. If Mark is his son, Lynn ponders what it would be like to be a father
A clever take on the theme "I Am My Father's Son"... with so many twists and turns that only a skilled mystery writer like Gordon Blitz could engineer. This emotional journey through the DNA rabbit hole as well as shocking character revelations held this reader spellbound. It will make you ask the question. What is my true identity? And nothing will prepare you for the final secret Mr. Blitz has in store.
