The Impostor's Daughter (English)

Laurie Sandell started drawing cartoons of her father when she was seven years old. It made total sense: his larger-than-life, superhero-inflected stories of his war adventures, early life in Argentina, and star-studded roster of acquaintances certainly seemed fit to be rendered in a comic-book style. When, however, as a young adult beginning her career as a journalist, Sandell decided to write a story about him, her research uncovered the painful truth that her father had been compulsively lying to his family. In IMPOSTOR'S DAUGHTER Sandell explores her experience coming to terms with her father's betrayal in a compelling format that mixes cartoony illustrations with soul-baring prose. minimize
