Description: "Joyce Johnson, whose classic memoir of growing up female in the 1950s, Minor Characters, won the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1983, was one of the initiators of an important new genre - the personal story of a minor player on history's stage. In Missing Man, a memoir that tells her mother's story as well as her own, Johnson constructs an equally unique self-portrait as she examines - from a woman's perspective - the far-reaching reverberations of fatherlessness."--BOOK JACKET.
