After Visiting Friends: A Son's Story

A moving story of a man's experience of trying to find out the truth about his father's somewhat mysterious death thirty years before. I liked the emotional honesty combined with great storytelling about a gritty life in Chicago. I read this in a couple of days, riding back and forth to work on the bus, on lunch break and for an hour or so before bed. It lends itself to stolen moments of reading, because the story is told in short vignettes.
