About this listen

Biff Temperance, a gentle and withdrawn yet brilliant commodity futures trader, experiences a devastating emotional attack triggered by childhood memories. His breakdown is bad enough, but the timing is even worse. It occurs on a chaotic trading floor and leads to a catastrophic financial loss for his firm.

His future in shambles, Biff abandons the meticulously structured life disengaged from the world, which he built for himself in New York City. He embarks on a trip to find his estranged father, who he hasn’t seen since he was five. His only clue about him is a recent letter containing a vague poem by his father mailed from an Arizona address.

As Biff steps away from his cloistered life, he begins a transformative cross-country journey. The surreal odyssey takes him through America’s heartland and his fractured psyche that carries emotional wounds he’s never identified or understood.

Along the way, Biff meets struggling everyday people who mirror America’s common turmoil. Each encounter, whether bizarre or poetic, draws him deeper into a dreamlike exploration of his past. Vivid flashbacks transport him to his childhood on his grandmother's farm, blending pastoral beauty with haunting memories of death and suffering during war. His journey shifts between a blurred world where past and present mix as he grapples with the emotional fallout of a turbulent upbringing.

He doesn’t know what to expect from the father he barely knew, a figure cloaked in mystery and unresolved emotions. At Hope Farm, where he finally finds him, Biff becomes immersed in a community of struggling people who have reached the end of what society can offer to heal their failure, grief, and misfortune.

This sanctuary for transformation and healing provides a backdrop for Biff to recognize the unexamined routines of his defensive daily life and to learn about his father. The farm's unique rituals and the wisdom of its residents challenge him to break free from his comfortable repression of grief. But can he? Should he? Does he even understand life in denial?

"Man Go Meet Father" is a meditation on reality, memory, and choices made in the aftermath of an idyllic childhood shattered by harsh events. The story offers an immersive journey to readers seeking unconventionally written fiction.
