“What a remarkable, evocative book. Lamar Herrin is a consummate story-teller, and Father Figure is a richly imagined American story of patrimony and baseball and war and the inheritance of history’s wounds told with great physical immediacy and a seemingly effortless emotional intensity.”
–Philip Gourevitch, author of The Ballad of Abu Ghraib
