Описание и характеристики

Conceived while his father, Bear, cavorted around Rome in the 1950s, Pinch learns quickly that Bears genius trumps all. After Bear abandons his family, Pinch strives to make himself worthy of his fathers attention — first trying to be a painter himself; then resolving to write his fathers biography; eventually settling, disillusioned, into a job as an Italian teacher in London. But when Bear dies, Pinch hatches a scheme to secure his fathers legacy — and make his own mark on the world.
With his signature humanity and humor, Tom Rachman examines a life lived in the shadow of greatness, cementing his place among his generations most exciting literary voices.
