I'd say that looking for that missing father is a pretty well
travelled theme in lots of great lit--joyce, gaddis, etc.

looking for a family, too I suppose

interesting take on this on the HBO show here in the states called Big
Love about a polymagous marriage (one dude, three wives including the
irresistable Chloe Sevigny) in modern day Utah, off the isolated
compound and living a normal life, sub-rosa in regular society--and
not just that family but the extended Family of the whole Mormon
Church (the whole family together in heaven after death as they are on
earth)
 it's a wonderful story, and well-done. the family (small letter) are
portrayed very sympathetically and at least for me, you care about' em

as an aside I've read the Mormon Church was upset over a re-enactment
of some of its rituals on the show (as it was shown last night)
if I understand it correctly, the Father is hidden behind a white
screen of sheets and converses with the members--you get to hold his
hand, though
