SWF08: 328 Remembering Parents

Well known German media identity Wibke Bruhns was just six years old when her father, a Nazi officer, was executed for his part in the plot to assassinate Hitler. As an adult, she wondered who he was. My Father's Country tells the story of her search for her father.

The last glimpse we have of Susan Sontag is her son David Rieff's intelligent, disordered account of his mother’s final illness, Swimming in a Sea of Death.

Craig Sherborne has written two provocative and heartbreaking memoirs, Hoi Polloi and Muck, about life on both sides of the ditch with two parents both suffering from prodigious aspirations and considerable delusions.

They discuss the agony and catharsis of writing about parents with Suzanne Leal.
