NYRB CLASSICS: An adult son and acclaimed author offers a heartfelt gay memoir about uncovering his late fatherโs secrets.
โA cross between Dickensโs David Copperfield, Rousseauโs Confessions, and the new pornography.โ โDonald Windham, novelist and memoirist
ย
When his father died, J. R. Ackerley was shocked to discover that he had led a secret life. And after Ackerley himself died, he left a surprise of his ownโthis coolly considered, unsparingly honest account of his quest to find out the whole truth about the man who had always eluded him in life.
ย
But Ackerleyโs pursuit of his father is also an exploration of the selfโmaking My Father and Myself a pioneering record, at once sexually explicit and emotionally charged, of life as a gay man. This witty, sorrowful, and beautiful book is a classic of 20th-century memoir.
