Just yesterday Harry gave himself a shiny red sports car for his thirtieth birthday. Today he faces the baffling questions of a suddenly single dad:
--How do you wash a four-year-old's hair?
--Should he eat green spaghetti for breakfast?
--What do you tell his Mommy from the emergency room phone?
In this poignant and witty novel, Harry has to bring up his child alone, look after his parents, work out his relationships and hold down a job.
As millions of women have discovered before him, that is not as simple as it may have seemed.
Man and Boy is by turns funny, sharp, warm and heart-wrenching. It is a brilliantly engaging novel from one of the most gifted and influential commentators writing today.
