Reviews"My Father's Cabin is a wonderful book, a celebration of life that can make your face turn hot and your vision blur. The author started telling the truth from the beginning, and he kept on telling it until the end--a story so transforming that the stars and planets move around us."-- The Common Review "Phillips's writing elevates [his] themes from the topical to art. He writes so well. . .that his 'remembrance of things past' may give many of his readers something new, something grand." --ROBERT E. LEWIS, Editor, North Dakota Quarterly, "My Father's Cabin is a wonderful book, a celebration of life that can make your face turn hot and your vision blur. The author started telling the truth from the beginning, and he kept on telling it until the end--a story so transforming that the stars and planets move around us."--The Common Review, "My Father's Cabin is a wonderful book, a celebration of life that can make your face turn hot and your vision blur.

He writes so well. . .that his 'remembrance of things past' may give many of his readers something new, something grand." --ROBERT E. LEWIS, Editor,North Dakota Quarterly, "I don't believe i have ever read so relentlessly honest, unsemtimental , and unsparing an account of working-class life. My Father's Cabin is a courageous account of American life that rings painfully true yet is, in its way, strongly affirming."--Joyce Carol Oats "A hard-bitten, working-class childhood on the fringes of decaying Buffalo, New York, goes a long way toward rendering. . . Phillips's memoir into a plaint, and extended ache that finds its way right into the readers heart. like a food train wreck, this family history has a way of holding your attention despite the pain and sorrow....[In the end] Phillips's revirth is a beautiful thing to behold, fresh air rushing through a scarred system."--KIRKUS 'Sensitive writing, a continually evolving relationship between parent and child, and commendable personalities make this an engrossing and satisfying book. Recommended for all libraries." Gina Kaiser, Univ. of the Sciences in Philadelphia Lib. Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
