In 1968 David Berg's brother, Alan, was murdered by Charles Harrelson, a notorious hit man and father of actor Woody Harrelson. Alan was only thirty-one when he disappeared; six months later his remains were found in a ditch in Texas. RUN, BROTHER, RUN is Berg's story of the murder. But it is also his account of the psychic destruction of the Berg family by the author's father, who allowed a grievous blunder at the age of twenty-three to determine his life. The event changed the fate of a clan and fell most heavily on Alan, the firstborn son, who tried to both redeem and escape his father yet could not. Writing with cold-eyed grief and wild, lacerating humor, Berg plunges into the darkest parts of human behavior to tell us first about the striving Jewish family that created Alan Berg and set him on a course for self-destruction and then about the gross miscarriage of justice that followed. RUN, BROTHER, RUN is a raw, furious, bawdy, and scathing testimonial about love, hate, and pain - and is utterly unforgettable. 600 10 $a Berg, David, $d 1942- $x Family. 600 10 $a Berg, Alan, $d -1968. 650 0 $a Radio broadcasters $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Radio broadcasters $x Death. 650 0 $a Murder $z Texas $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Radio broadcasting $z United States $v Biography. 775 08 $a Berg, David, 1942- $i Reproduction of (manifestation): $t Run, brother, run $d New York : Scribner, c2013 $w (DLC) 2012277667 941 $a 1 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20190824011006.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=833D9460C63411E9B2362BFE96128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
