My Father's Son was runner-up in the National Book Council Banjo Awards for Australian Literature. It tells the story of Ric Throssell's long battle to break through the suspicion and prejudice that stifled his Foreign Affairs career as the result of being the son of a famous writer and communist, Katherine Susannah Pritchard. In 1997, em PRESS published a revised edition, which includes a new final chapter uncovering information in top secret files held by ASIO on Throssell that he claimed cleared his name.
