Beautiful personal recollection with fries and gravy.
Since 2000ish JB specialised in explodey airport novels with unlikely heroes wearing risible horned helmets or wielding enchanted fire axes, but for the majority of his career he crafted non-fiction, of varying degrees of thinky to suit the glossy mag market.
In On Father he writes of a personal matter. He writes of his grief on the passing of his Dad and how that morphed into depression.
John crafts a fine sentence and an elegant chapter as he considers the Thinker-Tinkerers and theologists thoughts on grief, melancholy, and slabs of cheesey carbs in a hospital cafe.
