Balding, octogenarian, and partial to a polyester jumpsuit, Edward Cooper makes an unlikely literary muse. But to his son he looms larger than life, an overwhelming and baffling presence. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Edward's ambivalent regard for his son is the springboard from which this deeply intelligent memoir takes flight.
