Colt elegantly captures the complicated dynamics between brothers that both bind and define them. A great book - brillantly conceived, daringly organized, endlessly fascinating. Part memoir, part exhaustively researched biography of famous brothers ... Insightful and harrowing and funny and stacked with stories. An exploration of the full range of male sibling relationships. At its heart are five extended historical narratives, each emblematic of a different fraternal dynamic. ... Fresh, dramatic, and emotionally piercing. Awards
In alternate chapters, Colt moves from a quest to understand how his own brothers shaped his life to an examination of the complex relationships between iconic brothers in history. No library descriptions found. |
