Sinopse
Características

A collection of flash fiction (Tanzer), bookend short stories (Williams), a novella (Housley), and poetry written from father to daughter (Pawelek), Four Fathers is a hard-hitting definitive work that seeks to uncover what it takes to be a parent. These subjects are not easy, and through these introspective fathers, often agonized by the daily tensions of care-taking, we come to appreciate our own experiences more fully, or, at least prepare ourselves for what may lie ahead.Four Fathers, and each of its authors, delivers fatherhood in a multitude of thought-provoking, heartfelt ways: from Tom Williams pair of long short stories which define a man by who he is as a son in relation to his father, and who he is as a father in relation to his son; to BL Paweleks poetry, dedicated to his daughter, Abbey Road. Then you have Ben Tanzers flash fiction pieces, which all seem to reflect up on the idea of Im a dad...what the heck do I do now? and Dave Housleys novella begging the Osbornesque question What the f*** is a Bieber?ADVANCE PRAISE:Nothing can prepare us for the heart-wrenching mess that being a parent entails, but these stories and poems about fatherhood make me feel less lonely in the endeavor. At times gut-busting hilarious, devastating to the point of tears, and just plain beautiful, Im so grateful this collection is in the world. -Paula Bomer, author of NINE MONTHS and INSIDE MADELEINEFOUR FATHERS made me want to impregnate my wife all over again. Becoming a dad wouldnt be half as stressful with these powerful voices in my ear. From four of the sharpest literary minds on the planet, FOUR FATHERS is a quadruple helping of the wit, honesty, fear and beauty of being a dad. I cant wait to help a father-to-be throw away all the bullshit parenting books in his stack and replace it with this one amazing collection. I cant wait to tell him: This is what fatherhood really is. -Patrick Wensink, bestselling author of BROKEN PIANO FOR PRESIDENT
