Die, Daddy, die!
After a lifetime of competing with his father, writer David Shields has had enough. But the aged patriarch remains "cussedly, maddeningly alive."
By Louis Bayard [2008-03-04]

  • Oh Puhleeeze!

    I thought that this article was about the mixed feelings you have when someone is terminally ill, something I've experienced. Instead Shields has chosen to publish in a book things that are best confined to a psychiatrist's couch. And he is one sick puppy!
