Being Dad published by Tangent Books and edited by Dan Coxon is an anthology of short stories of fatherhood from fifteen contemporary writers. Every single story is presented with such poignancy that any father will read and find themselves lost in the words of being just that a father. The sheer beauty of this fabulous book is that there are no answers to the many questions posed by fatherhood but more the case of them sharing the everyday moments of everything that being a father is, the joy,...
This is a great little collection. Many of the stories are about loss/separation/disfunction. Perhaps the balance could have been a little more positive overall, but every story was worth reading. Recommended for all other new dads out there!
A terrible way to review a book is to review what the book is not. UNLESS it promises to be something and then doesn't deliver. This collection does not in my opinion "explore the highs and lows of being a father". Some of the stories have a link to fatherhood so tenuous the book could also claim they are about trees since they are printed on paper. Some of the stories are awful, like really, shockingly amateurish and dull. Most of them are depressing, about failed fatherhood, failed marriages,
20% absolutely brilliant, interesting and poignant 80% awful.
