Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Richard Lemm grew up in 1950s Seattle, raised by alcoholic grandparents, with an absent mother and a fabled father who died shortly after he was born. To avoid the draft, he left the land of opportunity and moved to Canada in 1967. Now, more than fifty years later, he uses his poets sensibility to examine his cultural heritage, including the optimism that characterized the early years of the counterculture and the darker days that followed the murders of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. Turning his lens inward, he focuses on what he believed to be true about his family and society at the time, how that perception has evolved and how the stories we tell ourselves inform our personal, cultural and national identities. Familiar mythsthe wild west, the greatest country on earth, the true north strong and free, the red-blooded male and othersstrongly influenced Lemms generation on both sides of the border. Revisiting these tropes in light of his later experiences, Lemm explores the ways in which we use imagined truths to justify our place in the world. A rewarding mixture of personal recollection and social commentary, this is a story about growing up in a family and country you didnt choose and coming of age in the country and with the people you did.History is the story an individual or nation tells itself, in an ongoing process of reinvention, and that story is one of imagined truths.
