From the author of Minor Characters, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award - an intricate and compelling (O, The Oprah Magazine) memoir that chronicles her childhood and her two ill-fated marriagesJoyce Johnson's classic memoir of growing up female in the 1950s, Minor Characters, was one of the initiators of an important new genre: the personal story of a minor player on history's stage. In Missing Men, a memoir that tells her mother's story as well as her own, Johnson constructs an equally unique self-portrait as she examines, from a woman's perspective, the far-reaching reverberations of fatherlessness. Telling a story that has shaped itself around absences, Missing Men presents us with the arc and flavor of a unique New York life-from the author's adventures as a Broadway stage child to her fateful encounters with the two fatherless artists she marries. Joyce Johnson's voice has never been more compelling.
