The bestselling author of The Things They Carried and If I Die in a Combat Zone shares wisdom from a life in letters, lessons learned in wartime, and the challenges, humour and rewards of raising two sons. When Tim OBrien became an older father, he 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 longago Christmas Eve. Maybe some scattered glimpses of their rapidly ageing 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.OBrien traverses the great variety of human experience and emotion, moving from soccer games to warfare to risqu lullabies, from alcoholism to magic shows to history lessons to bittersweet bedtime stories, but always returning to a fathers soulsaving love for his sons.The result is Dads Maybe Book, a funny, tender, wise, and enduring literary achievement that will squeeze the readers heart with joy and recognition.
