"Genius...Each of the text's 424 fragmentary entries exemplifies the wild, illogical path the mind takes on the way to getting a grip, or to losing one...Mainardi has crafted a masterly work in the best memoir tradition, placing emphasis less on what happened than on what he (and therefore we) can perceive because it happened." --The New York Times Book Review
"Odd and enchanting...Paternal rage, fear, guilt, and joy suffuse every page...Any parent of a child with or without a disability will appreciate [The Fall's] eloquence." --The Boston Globe "A new way to think about imperfection, expectation, exaltation, and love." --NPR, Weekend Edition Saturday "Mainardi creates a particular journey into the universe of his mind, directed by his son." --Publishers Weekly "A heartbreaking, brain-expanding hymn of love by a father for his son." --Oprah.com "Masterfully written...A singularly compelling memoir." --Kirkus (Starred review) "Mainardi...picks the world up and erects it as a monument of meaning to his own son." --Financial Times "[I]ndelible...This poetic and unsentimental memoir shines with a father's love and a child's indomitable spirit." --BBC.com "Heartbreaking, astonishing and wise, Mainardi's telling of Tito's story is not to be missed." --Book Reporter "[O]riginal, defying common precepts of what the reader believes he is reading." --CounterPunch Weekend Edition "[A] beautiful book." --Tweed's Book Blog "The Fall is a mercurial and enriching walk through 'off-script' fatherhood, cerebral palsy, art history, and this commonplace mystery, love. The Fall is wise and kind and moving." --David Mitchell, best-selling author of Cloud Atlas"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
