Overview

"[A] stirring blend of memoir, letters to his young sons, and meditations on the humbling nature of parenthood." —Time

Already an older father, National Book Award–winning novelist Tim O'Brien resolved to give his young sons what he wished his own father had given to him—a few scraps of paper signed "Love, Dad." Maybe a word of advice. Maybe a sentence or two about some long-ago Christmas Eve. Maybe some scattered glimpses of their rapidly aging father, a man they might never really know. For the next fifteen years, the author talked to his sons on paper, as if they were adults, imagining what they might want to hear from a father who was no longer among the living.

The result is Dad's Maybe Book a "touching" memoir about fatherhood from the acclaimed author "of enduring novels, memoirs and short stories."(Wall Street Journal).

"A bountiful treasury of fatherly advice, memoir, literary criticism, history, political commentary, and a dash of magic and miracles." —BookReporter

"A gorgeous book, a love letter and legacy." —Psychology Today's "One True Thing" blog

"Tender and hilarious." —Minneapolis Star Tribune
