Father Figures: in Praise (and Defense) of Dads

3.6/5 ( ratings)

Twenty of Australia’s brightest and funniest writers share the joys, hazards and mysteries of fatherhood and how we all relate to ‘dad’.

The shape of the family tree has changed irrevocably in recent decades, and there is no such thing as a ‘typical dad’ anymore . From the grim archetype of the emotionally distant father to the bumbling man-child who’s a pair of underpants away from being an ape, 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.
