The Mother I Imagined, The Mom I Knew eBook

In the tradition of Patrick Dennis and Truman Capote, and of Tennessee Williams’ memory play,The Glass Menagerie, Paul Alan Fahey’s memoir,The Mother I Imagined, The Mom I Knew, recounts a son’s loving yet often maddening relationship with his mother over four decades. Told in a hybrid mix of memoir, short fiction, and poetry, the author tells of their nomadic existence in the 1950s; his mother’s four-month visit in Africa while he completed his teaching contract; and the last decade of her life.
