A book that explores the difference between the idea of fatherhood and a man’s actual experience of it. At first this made him feel guilty, until he realized that all around him fathers were pretending to do one thing, to feel one way, when in fact they felt and did all sorts of things, then engaged in what amounted to an extended cover-up.
ReviewsHis failings amuse . . . and he captures serious moments with a warmth that shows he's a pretty good dad after all., Funny, frank, and engaging. It's refreshing to hear a dad describe so vividly the uglier aspects of the job., Funny, frank, and engaging. It "s refreshing to hear a dad describe so vividly the uglier aspects of the job.

SynopsisThe New York Times bestseller: "Hilarious. No mushy tribute to the joys of fatherhood, Lewis' book addresses the good, the bad, and the merely baffling about having kids."-- Boston Globe When Michael Lewis became a father, he decided to keep a written record of what actually happened immediately after the birth of each of his three children. This book is that record. But it is also something else: maybe the funniest, most unsparing account of ordinary daily household life ever recorded, from the point of view of the man inside. The remarkable thing about this story isn't that Lewis is so unusual. It's that he is so typical. The only wonder is that his wife has allowed him to publish it., When Michael Lewis became a father, he decided to keep a written record of what actually happened immediately after the birth of each of his three children.
