Author: Paul Connolly

Format: Paperback

Number of Pages: 256


The shape of the family tree has changed irrevocably in recent decades, and there is hardly such a thing as a 'typical dad' anymore (though dad jokes, like cockroaches, never seem to die). From the grim archetype of the emotionally distant father, to the bumbling man-child who's only a pair of underpants away from being an ape and the sensitive-new-age man with a pram, there has never been more freedom for men to choose what sort of dad they want to be. Or, for that matter, so many opportunities to stuff it up! CONTRIBUTORS INCLUDE: Anson Cameron Malcolm Knox William McInnes Tony Birch Barry Dickins Paddy O'Reilly Ben Pobjie Nick Place Kate Legge Gideon Haigh Angela Pippos Richard Hinds Sami Shah Mischa Merz Tony Wilson James Button Dominic Knight Benjamin Law Kerryn Phelps Tracey Spicer
