"Fatherhood: An Anthology is a "literary tool-kit for fathers," addressing such timeless issues as responsibility, fear, and loss--as well as sports and the meting out of punishment. Remarkably wide-ranging in its sources, this anthology covers four thousand years of writing--from 2000 B.C. to 2000 A.D.--and includes selections from fiction, personal letters, and Ancient Greek poetry, as well as eighteenth-century childcare manuals, newspaper reports, and "The Simpsons. Rousseau, Plath, Freud, and Shakespeare weigh in on fatherhood, as do Bob Dylan, Auberon Waugh, Samuel Coleridge, Franz Kafka, and Johnny Cash.
