From Library Journal Grizzard's father died 16 years ago， and every day since then his son has thought about him. This affecting memoir by the noted Southern journalist is "about his life and his hard times， about how much I loved him，" and how， even at 40， "I'm still crying for him." Every man is special to his son， but Grizzard Senior certainly qualifies as a "character." He was a decorated war hero who was later forced out of the Army， a teacher and coach who was an impressive influence on his students and players， a con man who could smooth-talk money from strangers， and a drunk. As a portrait of a complicated man this book is recommended， and also for the sometimes astute things it has to say about father-son relationships and male rites of passage in contemporary America.

Book Description This is a very special memoir， an unabashed confession of first a boy's， then a man's love for his father. As Lewis says. "To love someone unconditionally-as I loved Daddy-is to remember nuances that made such an object of love unique and impossible to replace." He was a man of contradictions， of lusty appetites， of rare warmth. He was a charmer of men and women and a consummate con artist. A certified war hero and a shameless passer of bad checks.Fans will love this funny and poignant memoir told as only Lewis Grizzard can. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
