ASSEMBLING MY FATHER: A DAUGHTER'S DETECTIVE STORY
by Anna Cypra Oliver

Assembling My Father is not your run-of-the-mill, conventional, memoir. The author, who never knew her father (he committed suicide when she was quite young), searches for him via assorted memorabilia and interviews with old friends.
Many of the chapters have small black and white photos, printed on the pages, at odd angles, which adds to the flavor of her unique telling.
Ms. Oliver is an extraordinary writer.
