Description
From the #1 New York Times author of A Man Called Ove comes a moving collection of heartfelt, humorous essays about fatherhood, offering a newborn son perspective and tools for navigating the world.
These personal dispatches from the front lines of fatherhood reveal profound awe at life's "firsts" and the author's own false steps, tackling everything from masculinity and mid-life crises to practical jokes and poop. He shares the true story of falling in love with a woman his opposite and learning a life that revolves around unconditional care, relaying lessons on finding your team, why airports explain war, and the crucial role of starting a band for friendships. He even includes how to beat Monkey Island 3 and why a dad might hold his son’s hand a little too tight.
What wisdom will he impart as his son ventures out into the world?
