Books by Bernard Cooper

Writing on subjects ranging from his family to the origin of the barbershop, Cooper digs into the surface of the Southern California landscape observing the collision of the American dream with the realities of everyday life, in an attempt to make sense of contemporary America.

A wry and beautifully observed memoir about coming of age in the era of conceptual art.

An account of growing up and coming to terms with a bewildering father, filled with uncommon wisdom and laugh-out-loud humour: a triumph of contemporary autobiography
