Spring was coming on, and Ireland was turning into its fabled green. When he returned for the funeral, he landed at JFK airport on his way home to Pittsburgh. Oddly, while on the concourse, he felt like he was floating. Green felt a deep sense of euphoria. Why did he take pleasure--for even a moment--in his father's death? In his mind, he had committed a grave and unforgiveable sin. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWho was this man, his father? Green believed that perhaps knowing more would relieve his unending sense of grief. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKing of the Rocks is a book about searching the past; it is about psychoanalysis and dreams and about finding clues in a cache of old photos and letters. It is about baseball, exotic travel, polio, absence and drink, and the dense granitic silence of men.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bill Green\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 153202214X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781532022142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.67d","brand":"Bill Green","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445302931711,"sku":"9781532022142","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1b4c68b4-abfb-432c-bc42-9a49a0ee2d25.jpg?v=1777217816","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/king-of-the-rocks-bill-green-9781532022142","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
