Description

Growing up, Deni Béchard believes his charismatic father is infallible. Wild, unpredictable, even dangerous, André is worshipped by his young son. When he discovers his father's true identity — and his crime sprees and prison sentences — he is attracted and repelled. Deni senses that his father's life holds the key to understanding his own and becomes obsessed by his father's own muted recollections of the childhood he'd fled long ago. Cures for Hunger is a gripping memoir of a man's quest to understand the hunger that burns for the unattainable, the story of the heart of a boy looking for the soul of a man. Deni Béchard won the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for his novel Vandal Love. He’s been widely published and has lived in over 30 countries. Personal Memoir, Family, Canadian Author.
