He had his final heart attack in the Silver Band Club in Corby, somewhere between the bar and the cigarette machine. A foundling  a fantasist  a morose, threatening drinker who was quick with his hands, he hadn't seen his son for years.\r\n\r\n John Burnside's extraordinary story of this failed relationship is a beautifully written evocation of a lost and damaged world of childhood and the constants of his father's world: men defined by the drink they could take and the pain they could stand, men shaped by their guilt and machismo.   A Lie About My Father is about forgiving but not forgetting, about examining the way men are made and how they fall apart, about understanding that in order to have a good son you must have a good father.
