Although his brief life is ultimately unknowable, Josh is both a presence and an absence in the author's life that will not remain unclaimed. As Josh'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 brother'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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUnstinting in its honesty, captivating in its form, and profound in its conclusions, \u003ci\u003eLord Fear\u003c\/i\u003e more than confirms the promise of Mann's earlier book, \u003ci\u003eClass A;\u003c\/i\u003e with it, he is poised to enter the ranks of the best young writers of his generation.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLUCAS MANN \u003c\/b\u003ewas born in New York City and received his MFA from the University of Iowa, where he was the Provost's Visiting Writer in Nonfiction.
