A quite lovely and most definitely humbling review indeed. And big thanks to The Collagist for that. Excerpt? Word.
"Tanzer cuts through the sourness of growing old, inexplicably, by
showing how sour it can get. It's an odd technique, but it's refreshing
for someone writing about parenthood to avoid sentimentalizing becoming a
parent. Through the pain and discomfort, something sweet and touching
can emerge. Like some of the best flavor pairings, the sour and the
sweet aren't just in opposition, but they actually complement one
another. This is because Tanzer just presents fatherhood, warts and all."
We are also joined by contributors Susan L. Lin and Billy Lombardo. Which is nice. Tomorrow The Way We Sleep will be stopping by The Collagist so please do hit that as well. It just might change your life.
Quite true this. Quite appreciated. And big thanks to always kick-ass Anna March and the whole Collagist crew for this terribly wonderful review. Drinks on us for sure when next we meet. Now, excerpt, cool? Thanks.
"It offers an important reminder that we are all artists in our own way, if only on the canvas that is our life, and that we create the finest art the more connected to the world and ourselves we are. It is a brave look at how fear binds us, and all that is to be gained when we let ourselves feel even the most painful truths. It is an ambitious work and it succeeds. In My Father's House are many mansions; every one of them is worth exploring."
