Variety Of Absences : Collected Memoirs

This omnibus edition brings together three classic autobiographical books by Dom Moraes, a poet and prose writer of near iconic status in India. Gone Away, My Son's Father and Never at Home, each published to immense critical acclaim, constitute a fascinating story of a young man's passage from a traumatic childhood and adolescence to manhood, surviving early fame, alcohol, strange exiles and difficult loves. In the tradition of the great literary biographies, these memoirs, available for the first time in a single volume, transform remembered fact into memorable art.
