Pop Culture: The Sane Man's Guide to the Insane World of New Fatherhood

Not too long ago, a man could be declared a paragon of fatherhood by doling out a couple of bowls of Frankenberry cereal to the kids on a weekend and letting his wife sleep in until 8 AM. Today, it's a little different. Men are a lot more involved, and, funny enough, they want to be.

POP CULTURE is a smart and witty guide to the universally confusing, often frustrating, and sometimes totally surreal world of fatherhood. It's a Sherpa dad for the new breed of men who are enlightened and involved by choice, and it speaks to them through a heaping dose of humor. There are plenty of books on the mechanics of childcare, and while Healy creates structure with the basics, his irreverent take delves into the heart of the culture itself to help readers steer the course of parenting philosophies, playgroup politics, and whether or not it's appropriate to play a round or two of "Grand Theft Auto" in front of your infant. But Healy doesn't just use his own history and wit to enlighten, he interviews over 100 other new dads for their insight on the experience and peppers their stories throughout.
