Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Stories of Fatherhood gathers more than a century of classic short stories about having, becoming, loving, and losing fathers. Frank OConnors hilarious tale of a tiny boys war against his paternal rival in My Oedipus Complex sits beside Ann Packers touching portrait of a man preparing for the wonder and terror of his first childs birth. At the other end of the lifespan, John Updikes My Fathers Tears, Jim Shepards The Mortality of Parents, and William Maxwells The man who lost his father bring us face to face with a loss that is like no other. In between, we encounter a full range of emotions connecting men and their offspring: tenderness and devotion, anxiety and incomprehension, admiration and regret. Powerful patriarchs cast a long shadow in Katherine Mansfields The Daughters of the Late Colonel and D. H. Lawrences The Christening, while Edith Whartons His Fathers Son sheds a more ironic light on the paternal legacy. E. L. Doctorows young protagonist, forced to write letters impersonating his dead father, arrives at a deeper understanding of him, while in Helen Simpsons Sorry? an old mans hearing aid seems to reveal what his children secretly think about him. Paternal bonds are forged outside biology, too: Graham Swift portrays a man wistfully seeking a substitute son, while Guy de Maupassants forlorn waif triumphantly acquires an ideal father. In these twenty stories, an array of great writersranging from Kafka, Joyce, and Nabokov to Raymond Carver, Harold Brodkey, and Andre Dubusoffers a wonderfully varied assortment of fictional takes on paternity.
