Ten top books about fathers

One of Miller's top ten books about fathers, as shared at the Guardian:

And When Did You Last See Your Father? by Blake Morrison

This 1993 portrait of Morrison’s father is often said to have inspired a generation of confessional writing. It has a superb opening scene, involving a long queue of cars outside a motor racing track, during the course of which key elements of Arthur Morrison’s character are established. And it gets better and better, funnier and sadder.
