This unique and shifting narrative explores the complexities of a relationship in which the fatherwho has been a high-flying outsiderdescends into frailty and becomes dependent upon the daughter he has never really known.</p><p>The opening story, Interment for Yard and Garden, begins as a simple handbook for Jewish burial and bereavement, although the narrator cannot help but reveal herself and her motives. From there, the telling begins anew and unfolds chronologically, returning to the adult daughters childhood: a family vacation in France, the grotesqueries of the dinner table, the shadowy sightings of a father who has flown away.</p><p>A final journey takes father and daughter back to the Southwest in search of Paradise Field. Their travels through that desolate landscape foreshadow the fathers ultimate decline, as portrayed in the concluding stories that tell of the uneasy transformation in the bond between them and in the transcendence of his demise. Taken together, the stories in <em>Paradise Field</em> are an eloquent but unsparing depiction of infirmity and death, as well as solace and provocation for anyone who has been left to stand graveside and confront eternity.</p>...3528968Paradise Field264367https://www.gandhi.com.mx/paradise-field-9781573668743/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2432775/03775ad0-c2e8-42cb-903e-b4ebb264b486.jpg?v=638383968094730000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20179781573668743_W3siaWQiOiI1OTUxMTU1Ny02ZTRmLTQ2NWMtOGQzOS04ZjgxYTJkYzY4YjQiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjM2NywiZGlzY291bnQiOjEwMywic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjoyNjQsImluY2x1ZGVzVGF4Ijp0cnVlLCJwcmljZVR5cGUiOiJXaG9sZXNhbGUiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6Ik1YTiIsImZyb20iOiIyMDI1LTA3LTAxVDAwOjAwOjAwWiIsInJlZ2lvbiI6Ik1YIiwiaXNQcmVvcmRlciI6ZmFsc2V9XQ==9781573668743_<p><strong>Interconnected stories depicting the last years of a WWII bomber pilot, his relationship with his daughter as both child and adult, and his drift into infirmity and death.</strong></p><p>When life dwindles to its irrevocable conclusion, recollections are illuminated, even unto the grave.
