description: Magical prose stylist Michael Chabon (Michiko Kakutani New York Times) delivers a collection of essaysheartfelt humorous insightful wiseon the meaning of fatherhood.For the September 2016 issue of GQ Michael Chabon wrote a piece about accompanying his son Abraham Chabon then thirteen to Paris Mens Fashion Week. Possessed with a precocious sense of style Abe was in his element chatting with designers he idolized and turning a critical eye to the freshest runway looks of the season; Chabon Sr. whose interest in clothing stops at thrift-shopping for vintage western shirts or Herms neckties sat idly by staving off yawns and fighting the impulse that the whole thing was a massive waste of time. Despite his own indifference however what gradually emerged as Chabon ferried his son to and from fashion shows was a deep respect for his sons passion. The piece quickly became a viral sensation.With the GQ story as its centerpiece and featuring six additional essays plus an introduction Pops illuminates the meaning magic and mysteries of fatherhood as only Michael Chabon can.
