Father Flashes reimagines what the novel can be or do. Composed of stunning vignettes that capture the deterioration of a father's mind and body, this novel provides poetic insight into the complex workings of a father-daughter relationship. As the father collapses, what appears is the daughter's struggle to simply cope. In prose composed of intense and moving shards, Tricia Bauer delivers a revealing account of the gradual decomposition of all that is familiar and of a daughter's gathering of memories to form the arresting collage that is Father Flashes .

Tricia Bauer has published four books of literary fiction, including Boondocking: A Novel . Her travel features have appeared in the New York Times and International Herald Tribune . Tricia works in children's educational publishing in Manhattan and lives with her husband, playwright Bill Bozzone, and their daughter, Lia, in Connecticut.
