In this memoir, Geoffrey Wolff, writes an unflinchingly honest portrayal of growing up with his father, a man who goes through life duping people into extending him credit in order to bask in a state of temporary luxury, only to have it all come tumbling down like a house of cards, because it’s never enough. Once the bills come due and the repossessions begin, the “Duke” can only haul himself and his family out of town in pursuit of the next target of deception.
