«And When Did You Last See Your Father?» is Blake Morrison's memoir published by Granta Books in paperback (224 pages, in English).
The author reconstructs the figure of his father, Dr Arthur Morrison, through memories and unanswered questions: what the man the child saw queue-jumping was really like, the father the teenager discovered as a seducer, or the terminally ill patient he cares for at the end of his life. An intimate portrait of love, loss and memory.
Winner of the TLS Ackerley Prize (1994); originally published in 1993.
For readers of memoirs and contemporary British literature, interested in father-child relationships and grief; common in reading groups.
