Publisher's Synopsis
From Esquire, which has always showcased the worldÆs finest writers, comes a stunning collection of often moving essays about fatherhood. Compelling and eloquent, these are some of the magazineÆs most emotionally powerful pieces, as eleven award-winning and notable authors reflect on manhood through memories of their own fathers and their personal experience of raising sons. The collection covers everything from birth to death, from the thrilling and terrifying hours Daniel Voll spent in the delivery room during his wifeÆs long labour to Jake La MottaÆs heartbreaking piece about losing his two sons to David SedarisÆs side-splitting portrait at his father - a food hoarder who once took a bite of his own hat!
