The Boy He Left Behind is Mark Matousek’s memoir about searching for the father who disappeared from his life when he was a child. At age thirty-eight, Matousek hires a private detective and follows a trail that becomes part family mystery, part personal reckoning, and part meditation on fathers, identity, masculinity and memory.

The book will appeal to readers interested in literary memoir, queer writing, family history, fatherhood, self-discovery and emotionally reflective life writing. Matousek’s background as a former editor at Interview magazine also gives this memoir a connection to late twentieth-century New York literary and cultural circles.
