Description: A Short Rhetoric for Leaving the Family by Peter Dimock Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description In what is both a brilliantly written investigation of family relationships and a scathing attack on the political rhetoric that guides American politics, Dimock creates a diary-like novel in which the narrator instructs his children in the family's sordid history. Publisher Description Fiction. "This is a singular book. Peter Dimock's "A Short Rhetoric For Leaving The Family" possesses the rich, intricate, and subtle patternings of the verbal lacemaker's craft. A remarkable debut" (Toni Morrison). Hundreds of novels have explored the war in Vietnam. This is the first to explore the world of the architects of that war, and it cuts terribly close to home. Dimock brilliantly exposes the pained heart of a single family and offers a vision of what their way of life still costs us all. His book raises with startling freshness ancient yet urgent questions about relations between image, word and act. "For the sake of this bastard's pleasured gain, Father, / you broke the back of the world / losing everything?" Author Biography Peter Dimock has long worked in publishing at Random House, and as senior executive editor for history and political science at Columbia University Press, where he worked with authors including Angela Davis, Eric Hobsbawm, Toni Morrison, and Amartya Sen. His first novel, "A Short Rhetoric for Leaving the Family", was published by Dalkey Archive Press in 1998.
