Book Description for Father ∫ Son
What happens when the bond between father and son is discovered too late to form naturally?
When Gabriel, a young writer searching for the missing architecture of his life, reaches out to David-a guarded New York psychiatrist he believes may be his biological father-both men are drawn into a relationship neither has chosen, yet neither can refuse.
Told through alternating voices and unfolding between New York and Los Angeles, Father ∫ Son is an intimate literary novel about identity, inheritance, memory, and the uneasy construction of love between two strangers bound by blood. As their correspondence deepens, what begins as inquiry gradually becomes recognition and involvement, forcing each man to confront not only the other, but the hidden versions of himself reflected there.
At once psychologically precise and emotionally restrained, Father ∫ Son explores the fragile territory between biology and intimacy, asking whether family can ever truly be discovered-or only invented.
For readers of character-driven literary fiction, Father ∫ Son is a moving and intellectually nuanced meditation on fatherhood, orphanhood, longing, and the stories through which we attempt to understand ourselves.
