Biography & Autobiography. Literary Criticism. Nonfiction. HTML: "Magical prose stylist" Michael Chabon (Michiko Kakutani, New York Times) delivers a collection of essays�??heartfelt, humorous, insightful, wise�??on the meaning of fatherhood. For the September 2016 issue of GQ, Michael Chabon wrote a piece about accompanying his son Abraham Chabon, then thirteen, to Paris Men's Fashion Week. Possessed with a precocious sense of style, Abe was in his element chatting with designers he idolized and turning a critical eye to the freshest runway looks of the season; Chabon Sr., whose interest in clothing stops at "thrift-shopping for vintage western shirts or Hermès neckties," sat idly by, staving off yawns and fighting the impulse that the whole thing was a massive waste of time. Despite his own indifference, however, what gradually emerged as Chabon ferried his son to and from fashion shows was a deep respect for his son's passion. The piece quickly became a viral sensation. With the GQ story as its centerpiece, and featuring six additional essays plus an introduction, Pops illuminates the meaning, magic, and mysteries of fatherhood as only Michael Chabon c… (más)

Chabon's reflections on parenting and being a father, interesting to see the feelings and perspectives he takes. (

A fun collection of essays/articles about being a father, fatherhood, and being a son and sonhood (a new term?). Not a whole whole lot of substance, but entertaining reads, that do give some insight on Chabon's parenting/time as a child. I haven't read any of his other works, but this was interesting enough and the writing was good to the point where I might feel the need to look out for his other works. (

A small number of short stories, very enjoyable, that all focus on the theme of fatherhood. Both as a son and as a father, mostly the latter. I particularly liked the one about the son who is into clothes and who has style. (

This is a quick book of reflections on fatherhood. It focuses on being a parent of a young teen, but the book actually starts with advice for aspiring authors not to have children! The book ends with an essay by the author about his relationship to his own father. In between are essays, several previously published elsewhere, that talk mainly about the author's relationship with his children. Having raised both sons and a daughter myself, I found some scenes surprisingly familiar, especially those about the author's younger son being quite picky about what he wore to school from a very early age.

Nothing offensive is contained herein so this is a nice read for an hour or two in which one might want to relax and reminisce a bit. It did remind me, however, to look for more of Chabon's longer works. I haven't read any for quite a while. (
