And while one Father is at the center of the book, it extends to other fathers- grandfather and great grandfather, the son as a boy and then as a father. himself in the turbulent America of the 1960's. The various fathers of this book, who invent themselves and those who accept what they are given, find their heroic American culmination in the image of Sam Gold and his adventures."
