<p>Magical prose stylist Michael Chabon (Michiko Kakutani <em>New York Times</em>) delivers a collection of essays--heartfelt humorous insightful wise--on the meaning of fatherhood.</p><p>For the September 2016 issue of <em>GQ </em> Michael Chabon wrote a piece about accompanying his son Abraham Chabon then thirteen to Paris Men's Fashion Week. Possessed with a precocious sense of style Abe was in his element chatting with designers he idolized and turning a critical eye to the freshest runway looks of the season; Chabon Sr. whose interest in clothing stops at thrift-shopping for vintage western shirts or Hermès neckties sat idly by staving off yawns and fighting the impulse that the whole thing was a massive waste of time. Despite his own indifference however what gradually emerged as Chabon ferried his son to and from fashion shows was a deep respect for his son's passion. The piece quickly became a viral sensation.</p><p>With the <em>GQ</em> story as its centerpiece and featuring six additional essays plus an introduction <em>Pops</em> illuminates the meaning magic and mysteries of fatherhood as only Michael Chabon can.</p>
