What A Father Leaves

â€œWhat a Father Leavesâ€ is the story of two men, father and son â€” each stubborn and determined in his own way, each facing the trials of life with a particular determination â€” and the way they come to understand and respect each other.

This essay and several others can be found in Revere Beach Elegy: A Memoir of Home and Beyond.

Michael Upchurch of the Seattle Times said â€œRevere Beach Elegy is an autobiography in ten essays that is sublimely refreshing in its love and generosity. Merulloâ€™s prose, as he outlines the worlds he cherishes, has a luminous subtlety that brings alive rich layers of feeling in an immediate intelligible manner. His eye stays intently trained on how we guide ourselves through life.â€

â€œRevere Beach Elegy is a smart and moving meditation on social class, boundaries and mobility...and much more,â€ said Ray Suarez of NPR and The Washington Post.

And, the Chicago Tribune had this to say about the memoir, â€œMerullo has a knack for rendering emotional complexities, paradoxes, or impasses in a mere turn of the phrase.â€
