- My Grandfather's Son: A Memoir (El hijo de mi abuelo: Una memoria, traducción literal) son las memorias de Clarence Thomas, un Juez Asociado de la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos. El libro cuenta toda la vida de Thomas hasta el presente, comenzando con su infancia en el Deep South y la decisión de su madre de enviarlo a él y su hermano para que fueran educados por su padre y su madrastra debido a que ella se sentía incapaz de cuidarlos. Cuanta sobre su vida con sus abuelos, su tiempo en el college y en la escuela de derecho y su carrera en el gobierno. El autor pone especial atención a sus audiencias de confirmación para la Corte Suprema. La memoria explica el estrés emocional de Thomas respecto al divorcio con su primera cónyuge, su evolución intelectual al conservadurismo y sus problemas económicos a finales de la década de 1980. También incluye una confesión sobre su previa lucha contra el alcohol. My Grandfather's Son fue alabado por su tono franco y su estilo bien escrito. Sin embargo, también fue criticado por ser muy parcial para un Juez de la Corte Suprema y por sobre enfatizar alegaciones que lo dejan como una víctima. Gran parte de los medios centraron su atención en los capítulos sobre las audiencias de confirmación, uno de los cuales se titula "Invitación a un linchamiento." Thomas recibió de adelanto por el libro $1.5 millones, que llegó al número uno en la lista de superventas de no ficción del New York Times. (es)
- My Grandfather's Son: A Memoir is the 2007 memoir of Clarence Thomas, an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. The book spans all of Thomas's life to the present, beginning with his early childhood in the Deep South and his mother's decision to send him and his brother to be raised by her father and stepmother as she felt unable to care for them. He tells of his upbringing by his grandparents, his time in college and law school, and his career in government. Particular attention is focused on his Supreme Court confirmation hearings. The memoir discusses Thomas's emotional distress over divorcing his first wife, his intellectual evolution to conservatism, and the financial troubles that plagued him up through the late 1980s. It also includes a confession about his previously unknown struggle with alcohol. My Grandfather's Son was praised for its frank tone and well-written style. However, it was also criticized as being too partisan for a sitting Supreme Court Justice and for over-emphasizing claims of victimhood. Much of the media attention centered on his chapters on the confirmation hearings, one of which was titled "Invitation to a Lynching." Thomas received a $1.5 million advance for the book, which hit number one on the New York Times non-fiction best-seller list. (en)
