L'autore
Brent Hightower grew up in Placitas, New Mexico, in the 1960s, in a family of scientists and teachers. His extended family was deeply divided by the Vietnam War and steeped in the destructive legacy of the Irish diaspora. The spiritual, intellectual, and psychological chaos of his upbringing and a painstaking effort of reconstruction have defined his life. He lives with his wife, Lauren, and daughter, Maeve, in Hawaii.
