discusses
his
book
, "

Closely
by
Catastrophe.
" He
begins
by
sharing
that he
grew
up
in a
family
that
harbored
a
secret
so
dangerous
that
it
caused
them to
pack
their
things
and
flee
at a
moment’s
notice
. He then
discusses
how he
met
a
girl
named
Judy
and had a
child
out
of
wedlock
with her
when
he was
seventeen
.
O'Connor
explains
why
he then
abandoned
his
family
and his
frustration
with his
parents
'
secrets
. He
goes
on to
explain
that his
parents
' were
running
from
accusations
from his
grandmother
that his
mother
was an
illegal
immigrant
from
Great
Britain
and that his
father
was
still
married
to a
previous
wife
.
Later
in the
interview
he
discusses
the
process
of
researching
and
writing
the
book
and his
initial
dislike
towards
writing
a
biography
or
memoir
.
