Description
A Soliloquy on Parenting is not a 'how-to' on parenting but a retrospective driven by ideas and aesthetics. The tone is reflective with a philosophical bent, written in small segments to capture the many thoughts and feelings of parenting. It's filled with stories which have clear though anonymous references to his children. For parenting is mostly about stories. It's a small book that's often philosophical, using books and movies as ideas in parenting. It's both 'top-heavy' and light-hearted, and strives to create a tone that's different than the usual parenting books.
