Dark, painful memories can be like a cage. Or, in the case of Alan Cumming, they can be packed away in a box, stuck in the attic to be forgotten. Until one day the box explodes and all the memories flood back in horrible detail. Alan Cumming grew up in the grip of a man who held his family hostage, someone who meted out violence with a frightening ease, who waged a silent war with himself that sometimes spilled over onto everyone around him. That man was Alex Cumming, Alan's father.
When television producers approached Alan to appear on a popular celebrity genealogy show in 2010, he enthusiastically agreed. He hoped to solve a mystery that had long cast a shadow over his family. His maternal grandfather, Tommy Darling, had disappeared into the Far East after WWII. Alan's mother knew very little about him - he had been a courier, carrying information between battalions on his motorbike. The last time she saw her father, Alan's mother was eight years old. When she was 13, the family was informed that he had died by his own hand, an accidental shooting.
But this was not the only mystery laid before Alan's feet. His father, whom Alan had not seen or spoken to for more than a decade, reconnected just before filming for Who Do You Think You Are? began. He had a secret he had to share, one that would shock his son to his very core and set into motion a journey that would change Alan's life forever.
With ribald humor, wit, and incredible insight, Alan seamlessly moves back and forth in time, integrating stories from his childhood in Scotland and his experiences today as the celebrated actor of film, television, and stage. At times suspenseful, at times deeply moving, but always incredibly brave and honest, Not My Father's Son is a powerful story of embracing the best aspects of the past and triumphantly pushing the darkness aside.
聽完瞭………………紀念下第一次老老實實聽完有聲書 而且還是沒紙質書的情況下 再次感嘆父母對小孩的影響還是很大的 結尾一再說不再受父親的控製瞭 可是形容再次迴到兒時生活的地方 形容自己的衣著頭發完全符閤父親的要求 這些明顯還是說明父親的影響從未消失 嗯 我要買書!
評分ToT
評分坑坑窪窪地總算是啃完瞭。與其說這書是在討論Alan到底是不是他爹親生的,還不如是Alan在找尋他爹是否愛他的綫索。所幸Alan身邊還有這麼多愛他的,和他愛的人。
評分Alan的演齣實在非常captivating,一個眼神就能把觀眾吸進去瞭,看瞭這本書隻能說he's a much better actor than he's an author...
