A sharp, funny, and heartfelt memoir from the author of
The Night the Lights Went Out
,
The Hike,
and
The Postmortal
about fatherhood and the ups and downs of raising a family in modern America
No one writes about family quite like Drew Magary. In
Someone Could Get Hurt
, he reflects on his own parenting experiences to explore the anxiety, rationalizations, compromises, and overpowering love that come with raising children.
In brutally honest and funny stories, Magary reveals how American mothers and fathers cope with being in over their heads—from getting drunk while trick-or-treating and telling dirty jokes to make bath time go smoothly to committing petty vandalism to bond with a five-year-old.
offers a hilarious and heartfelt look at child rearing with a glimpse into the genuine love and compassion that accompany the missteps and flawed logic. It’s the story of head lice, almost-dirty words, flat head syndrome, and a man trying to commit the ultimate act of selflessness in a selfish world.
