My Daddy Was a Pistol and Iam a Son of a Gun, Paperback

Lewis Grizzard always makes us laugh. But this time, when he tells us all about his father--a certified war hero and a shameless passer of bad checks . . . a charmer of men and women and a consummate con artist . . . a man of great courage and an alcoholic destined to drink himself to death--he's going to make us cry, too. And he's going to give us a hilarious, moving account of that "tender, spooky territory: that country of the heart inhabited by fathers and sons."
