The Boy He Left Behind

From a one-time editor of Andy Warhol's Interview magazine and bestselling author of 'Sex, Death and Enlightenment' comes the riveting, lyrical true story of Mark Matousek's search for his vanished father, and an exploration of what it means to be a man.

Mark Matousek grew up in an eccentric family in Los Angeles. Mark has only one memory of his father: a stranger who appeared when he was four as he was watching and Ed Sullivan Show and tried to kidnap him. Years later, challenged by a friend, he hired a private detective to try to track him down.

The Boy He Left Behind is the true story of his extraordinary search for his lost father, and a journey into our own sense of self.
