A proposito di questo titolo

A powerful, singular collection of short stories depicting the evolving role of fatherhood in contemporary society—perfect for readers of Jamel Brinkley’s A Lucky Man and Phil Klay’s Redeployment.

From stories about a father who shows up hungover to chaperone his daughter’s kindergarten bowling trip, to another who rediscovers his love of graffiti, and a father who pays for his legal fees and apartment through his OnlyFans earnings, Head of Household is a short story collection that reckons with divorce, financial anxiety, and sexuality to create a collage of the beleaguered father, a man on the frontlines of a masculinity in crisis—stories of men salvaging the shreds of their identities while staging puppet shows and pretending to be ponies for their children.

Recensioni della critica

"Listeners will find themselves thinking about these compelling and engaging short stories long after the audiobook ends."
"Narrator Max Meyers shines in this collection of short stories that addresses two central questions: What does it mean to be a father in today’s society, and how has our concept of fatherhood evolved? The ten stories address a wide range of topics including masculinity, navigating divorce, financial issues, responsibilities, identity, and societal expectations. Meyers' delivery is measured and thoughtful throughout, inviting listeners to engage with the situations presented in each story. Some of the selections are humorous, some touching, and some complicated, but all are powerful in their own way. The title story is particularly engaging, as are "Divorce Story," "Pony," and "OnlyFans.""
