Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A #1 New York Times bestselling author traces her fathers life from turn-of-the-century Warsaw to New York City in an intimate memoir about family, memory, and the stories we tell.An accomplished, clear-eyed, and affecting memoir about a man who is at once ordinary and extraordinary.Forward Long before she was the acclaimed author of a groundbreaking book about women and men, praised by Oliver Sacks for having a novelists ear for the way people speak, Deborah Tannen was a girl who adored her father. Though he was often absent during her childhood, she was profoundly influenced by his gift for writing and storytelling. As she grew up and he grew older, she spent countless hours recording conversations with her father for the account of his life she had promised him shed write. But when he hands Tannen journals he kept in his youth, and she discovers letters he saved from a woman he might have married instead of her mother, she is forced to rethink her assumptions about her fathers life and her parents marriage. In this memoir, Tannen embarks on the poignant, yet perilous, quest to piece together the puzzle of her fathers life. Beginning with his astonishingly vivid memories of the Hasidic community in Warsaw, where he was born in 1908, she traces his journey: from arriving in New York City in 1920 to quitting high school at fourteen to support his mother and sister, through a vast array of jobs, including prison guard and gun-toting alcohol tax inspector, to eventually establishing the largest workers compensation law practice in New York and running for Congress. As Tannen comes to better understand her fathersand her ownrelationship to Judaism, she uncovers aspects of his life she would never have imagined. Finding My Father is a memoir of Eli Tannens life and the ways in which it reflects the near century that he lived. Even more than that, its an unflinching account of a daughters struggle to see her father clearly, to know him more deeply, and to find a more truthful story about her family and herself. "A New York Times bestselling author traces her father's life from turn-of-the-century Warsaw to bustling New York City in an intimate memoir about family, memory, and the stories we tell"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
