REVIEWS

“Remember the first time your dad told you a secret that made you see him as a complete person? That happens on every page. Family often inspires art, but rarely are the results as generous as they are in this slyly funny book.” —Chris L. Terry, author of Black Card

“Outsmarts sadness & death.” —Jerome Charyn, Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, and author of Big Red

“A wise & loving book that tells me more about men than ten years of marriage.” —Natasha Leggero, comedian & author of The World Deserves My Children

“A playful family saga written in Beat-evoking free verse. I heartily recommend taking this breezy California ride.” —Daniel Pinchbeck, author of Breaking Open the Head

“I sent my Dad a letter in the mail once and all I got back was a restraining order. This magic correspondence makes me dwell on my own luvly Dad, a bit older now. And at the same time wish, that I end up in the Gold lineage next time round.” —Robert Sheehan, actor & author of Playing Dead

A year ago, my dad acted in my upcoming movie, a few weeks before he died at age 99. He also offered the world this full-color book of poems, photos, wit and wisdom of life and death, made together with @ethangold and me, and released by @rarebirdl

Thought experiment. Go around people. Look at anyone. Really look. Imagine that, on this planet, this stranger you see is the Ideal of Beauty. Their face is perfection itself. Their beauty could make you cry. Now turn your eyes to someone else. Do it again. And again. Now - How do you feel about the world? How do you feel when you look in the mirror?
