Summary:
"
Dad
Bod
is a brisk, humorous collection of essays that redefines the mythos of fatherhood depicted in film, television, and video games. What do dads tell us about the world? Not your real
dad
, but dads in general. Dads are everywhere. Lurking in our movies, television shows, and video games. Spouting homespun wisdom and atrocious jokes, wallowing in might-have-beens and back-in-my-days, or rigidly defining the status quo. These fictional dads fuel a myth of fatherhood. What is that myth trying to tell us? And what is it trying to sell us?
Dad
Bod
is a clever, riveting collection of essays about father figures in popular
culture
. These analyses unpack the tropes that inform our collective image of fatherhood. Follow Cian Cruise, newly minted
dad
, as he riffs on the stereotypes and lore of fatherhood, traces a contemporary art history of dads in popular
culture
, and journeys to the heart of dadness to redefine what it means to be a father."--Publisher.
