Lord Fear : a memoir

Mann, Lucas, author

Overview

\"Lucas Mann was only thirteen years old when his brother Josh - charismatic and ambitious, funny and sadistic, violent and vulnerable - died of a heroin overdose. Although his brief life is ultimately unknowable, Josh is both a presence and an absence in the author s life that will not remain unclaimed. As Josh s story is told in kaleidoscopic shards of memories assembled from interviews with his friends and family, as well as from the raw material of his journals, a revealing, startling portrait unfolds. At the same time, Mann pulls back to examine his own complicated feelings and motives for recovering memories of his brother s life, searching for a balance between the tension of inevitability and the what ifs that beg to be asked. Through his investigation, Mann also comes to redefine his own place in a family whose narrative is bisected by the tragic loss\"--Publisher's description.
