Book description
Lucas Mann turns his attention, tenderness, self-reflection, and humor to contemporary fatherhood. He looks closely at all the joys, frustrations, subtleties, and contradictions within an experience that often goes under-discussed. At once intimate and expansive, Mann chronicles his own life with his young daughter, but also looks outward to the cultural and political baggage that surrounds and permeates these everyday experiences. Moving through memoir, lyric essay, literary analysis, and pop culture criticism, Attachments treats the subject of fatherhood with the depth, curiosity, and vivid emotion that it deserves.
About the Author
Lucas Mann teaches creative writing at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. He is author of Captive Audience: On Love and Reality TV. He lives in Providence, Rhode Island, with his family, where they own Riffraff Bookstore and Bar.
