Sam says: This eclectic selection collection, written just after his first child was born, captures the luminous plasticity, limpid exhaustion and dissolution of self that comes with early fatherhood, all with his trademark slantwise playfulness. Might wait until Dylan is a little older before taking a heroic dose of mushrooms after reading the second story, though!
