About the Book

At the age of four, Philip Zazove was speaking to his father, who turned away to replace some books on a shelf. "Daddy, " Philip cried, "look at me when I talk!" His father replied, and Philip said, "What did you say, Daddy?" His father turned around and repeated what he'd just said, "Philip, I don't have to look at you to hear you." "Yes, you do.
