lesserjoke 's review for:
This 2009 book from Michael Chabon is an excellent memoir, focused less on the novelist's specific life history and more on his general musings about parenting and gender roles, as filtered through his own experiences. He's a bit preoccupied with the notion that modern kids have too much structure -- they can't ride their bikes anywhere, their Lego sets are all for existing media properties, etc. -- but he mostly seems to realize that this situation is just different than his own upbringing, not worse. Although I'm closer in age to his children, Chabon and I share several major touchstones from Judaism to Doctor Who, and overall I appreciate reading his insights as I stand now on the cusp of fatherhood myself.
