About This Book
Lucas Mann turns his attention, tenderness, self-reflection, and humor to contemporary fatherhood. He looks closely at all the joys, frustrations, subtleties, and contradictions within an experience that often goes under-discussed. At once intimate and expansive, Mann chronicles his own life with his young daughter, but also looks outward to the cultural and political baggage that surrounds and permeates these everyday experiences. Moving through memoir, lyric essay, literary analysis, and pop culture criticism, Attachments treats the subject of fatherhood with the depth, curiosity, and vivid emotion that it deserves.

Reviews
"An intense, poetic, and almost uncomfortably honest book ..."
"What Mann's attempting to do, here and elsewhere in the collection, is metabolize his own experience as a child by way of his life as a parent."
"A heartfelt, perceptive, profoundly introspective journey into the realm of parenthood."
"Parenthood in general, and modern fatherhood in particular, proves to be an ideal subject for Mann's approach."
