My Father's Diet (Paperback)
Staff Reviews
There are elements of life I never noticed until Adrian Nathan West described them so perfectly in this book. These elements are tangible and intangible--emotions, habits, and ways of thinking, yes, but also the strip malls, apartments, and restaurant kitchens of America... places I've been and feelings I've felt a million times, but whose truth was only revealed to me through West's writing. -Alia
— From AliaTurn that ugly flab into rock-hard abs with this one sardonic debut novel (Doctors hate this.)
