Lord Fear: A Memoir

Lucas Mann was only thirteen years old when his brother Joshâ€”charismatic and ambitious, funny and sadistic, violent and vulnerableâ€”died of a heroin overdose. Although his brief life is ultimately unknowable, Josh is both a presence and an absence in the authorâ€™s life that will not remain unclaimed. As Joshâ€™s story is told in kaleidoscopic shards of memories assembled from interviews with his friends and family, as well as from the raw material of his journals, a revealing, startling portrait unfolds. At the same time, Mann pulls back to examine his own complicated feelings and motives for recovering memories of his brotherâ€™s life, searching for a balance between the tension of inevitability and the what ifs that beg to be asked. Through his investigation, Mann also comes to redefine his own place in a family whose narrative is bisected by the tragic loss.
Â
Unstinting in its honesty, captivating in its form, and profound in its conclusions, Lord Fear more than confirms the promise of Mannâ€™s earlier book, Class A; with it, he is poised to enter the ranks of the best young writers of his generation.
