This is a First Edition, First Printing of this book.; "n A MASS FOR THE DEAD, he tells the story of his childhood years, of his mother and father and his extended family, and of how he grew to manhood. It makes out of death something of use. It is a voyage of exploration into the family past, where one learns about oneself and one's family in new ways. This is written in remembrance of Gibson's deceased parents and in honor of their lives. In reflecting on them he in turn makes it a tribute to parenthood and a dedication to his own children. Gibson's language is striking in its poignancy. Despite the title, this is not a religious work, but a work of love from a child to parent and from the child-become-parent to his own children. Interspersed between the reminiscences of his parents and his childhood, Gibson inserts achingly beautiful epistles to his children for their guidance about life and parenting."; 8.9 X 6.0 X 1.2 inches; 431 pages.

Mass for the Dead tops my list of favorite books of all time. I am always stunned by the writing itself, and Gibson's exploration of the lives of his parents is thorough and moving. His memoir is filled with details and connections that culminate in his own parenthood and insights into family and self. This is a powerful book and worthy of a book group discussion.
