Reviews"However you slice it, fatherhood has provided Erskine with some great material."-- Parents, about Man of the House, "Chris Erskine hits nothing but home runs. His work is replete with wit, context, perception, and almost always a healthy dose of compassion. I've loved his columns for years. You will, too." -- Al Michaels, legendary sportscaster ""If I have to come and hand sell this book to each of you, I'll do it. This book is so funny and so good--and so short and so elegantly published--that you will be thrilled to own it. I tracked the guy down with a fan letter. A+" -- Caitlin Flanagan, contributing editor of The Atlantic and former staff writer at The New Yorker "Charming, well written, concise, and to the point. Perfect for anyone who enjoys stories of fatherhood." -- Library Journal, "Chris Erskine hits nothing but home runs. His work is replete with wit, context, perception, and almost always a healthy dose of compassion. I've loved his columns for years. You will, too." -- Al Michaels, legendary sportscaster "No one writes columns like these. They have the warmth of family life columns from the sixties, but they are fully modern and encompass so much of life as we live it right now.... There is a haunting doubleness to these essays--always there is something elegiac. They are about the passing of time in your own family, but they stand also for a passing kind of American life." -- Caitlin Flanagan, contributing editor of The Atlantic and former staff writer at The New Yorker "However you slice it, fatherhood has provided Erskine with some great material."-- Parents, about Man of the House, A Los Angeles Times Bestseller A PubWest Design Award Winner "Chris Erskine hits nothing but home runs.

SynopsisWise, wry, and witty essays on fatherhood from Chris Erskine, the beloved columnist for the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune ., Wise, wry, and witty essays on fatherhood from Chris Erskine, the beloved columnist for the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune., Wise, wry, and witty essays on fatherhood from Chris Erskine, the beloved columnist for the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune . "Charming, well written, concise, and to the point. Perfect for anyone who enjoys stories of fatherhood." -- Library Journal Life is never peaceful in Chris Erskine's house, what with the four kids, 300-pound beagle, chronically leaky roof, and long-suffering wife, Posh. And that's exactly the way he likes it, except when he doesn't. Every week in the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune (and now and then in many other papers), Erskine distills, mocks, and makes us laugh at the absurdities of suburban fatherhood. And now, he's gathered the very best of these witty and wise essays--and invited his kids (and maybe even Posh) to annotate them with updated commentary, which they promise won't be too snarky. This handsome book is the perfect gift for the father who would have everything--if he hadn't already given it all to his kids., Life is never peaceful in Chris Erskine's house, what with the four kids, 300-pound beagle, chronically leaky roof, and long-suffering wife, Posh.
