Resumo

This article is written as a personal letter to the author of A Need to Know. The letter responds to the freshness of the narrative writing in the book, its risks and rewards, and questions whether this is a book about 'knowing' or about 'feeling.' Shame, pain, loneliness, and rage are feelings often felt but not expressed in relationships between fathers and sons, and like many narratives, A Need to Know aspires to truth but can make no claim to it. Narrative is not merely an inheritance; it's also a way of continuing a relationship marked by the silence of death through linking the past to the future, giving one's life a sense of continuity and integrity.
