RaveThe New York TimesMichael Chabon’s new book, Pops collects seven essays, each of which shines a light on moments revealing the plight of the modern father ... Chabon’s book feels like a late-night talk with a friend about how much we love our kids and how hopeful we are that we’re better dads than we fear ... at first glance I thought this book might just repackage Chabon’s magazine work, with no other reason for being. But then I read the final chapter and it all came together ... In just a few pages I understood why Chabon found such meaning in fatherhood.
