To Me, He Was Just Dad: Stories of Growing Up with Famous Fathers

Joshua David Stein

4.9/5 (15342 ratings)

Description:My Father the Chef. My Father the Cult Leader. My Father the Front Man. My Father the Daredevil. These men (Jacques Pépin, Saul Newton, Jon Bon Jovi, and Evel Kneivel, respectively) are among the famous—and infamous—dads featured in My Father The . . . , a collection of 50 first-person essays written by the children of some of the world’s most fascinating men. Though these men may be familiar to the reader, their children offer a unique, intimate view of them at their most unvarnished, through heartfelt reflections, charming anecdotes, and archival photographs. Drug lord Pablo Escobar’s son remembers a supportive and present father who played soccer with his kids and kept in touch with letters during their hard life on the run following Escobar’s ordered hit of Rodrigo Lara. Author Shel Silverstein’s son recalls days filled with lessons in “ordinamagination”—when you take an ordinary problem, tackle it with a little imagination, and wait for magic to happen. The daughter of Paul Dillon, a spy for the CIA whose cover was blown by a disgruntled officer, recounts the day the agency called the family in to “reveal” his big secret: she and her siblings sat quietly, feeling embarrassed, because though they had never discussed it with their father out of respect for his privacy, they had read the news in a New Delhi paper years before. Taken together, their stories serve as a moving celebration of the profound role fathers can play in the lives of their children.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
