Stories of Fatherhood

This wide-ranging anthology pays tribute to fathers young and old. At one end of the spectrum, a touching story by Ann Packer tells of a man preparing for the wonder and terror of his first child`s birth, and from Frank O`Connor`s comes a hilarious tale of a small boy`s war against his paternal rival in `My Oedipus Complex`. At the other, John Updike`s `My Father`s Tears` and Jim Shepard`s `The Mortality of Parents` bring us face to face with a loss that is like no other. Maupassant, Kakfa, Nabokov, Edith Wharton, Raymond Carver, Graham Swift, Julian Barnes, Helen Simpson …all these and more offer a wonderful assortment of fictional takes on the paternal bond.
