This funny and moving book is a correspondence between the two authors that takes place over the course of 14 months, shortly after young Charles Demers finds out his wife is pregnant. He seeks the counsel of elder statesman George Bowering, his long-time friend who recalls his own experiences becoming a father in the 1970s. Their resulting "dialogue" is a revealing look at the fears, misgivings, and optimism engendered by impending parenthood. As much as it is about a book about how men from two different generations become good fathers, it is also a book about becoming good husbands; for Charles, the pressures of impending fatherhood, combined with his admitted OCD, puts a huge strain on his marriage, while existing problems between George and his wife do not dissipate with the arrival of their daughter.
Funny, personal books on fatherhood have long been popular; for many men, becoming a parent is an opportunity to reevaluate their lives and their roles as husbands, as fathers, and as sons. This book is unique in that two generations of fatherhood are compared and contrasted, all done with a highly personable, gently humorous tone.
