520 1 $a"With a seamless weave of letters, reminiscences,
poems, and journal entries, Eleni Sikelianos creates a
loving portrait - and an unblinking indictment - of her
father, Jon: a talented musician, a high school dropout, an
autodidact descendent of Greek nobility, and, for much of
his life, a drug addict. An eccentric visionary, he emerges
as a brilliant, irresponsible, frustrating, and ultimately
tragic figure. In 2001, after three years of homelessness on
the streets of Albuquerque, he died in a motel room from an
overdose."--BOOK JACKET.
