Possessed with a precocious sense of style, Abe was in his element chatting with designers he idolized and turning a critical eye to the freshest runway looks of the season; Chabon Sr., whose interest in clothing stops at \"thrift-shopping for vintage western shirts or Herm s neckties,\" sat idly by, staving off yawns and fighting the impulse that the whole thing was a massive waste of time. Despite his own indifference, however, what gradually emerged as Chabon ferried his son to and from fashion shows was a deep respect for his son's passion. The piece quickly became a viral sensation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the \u003cem\u003eGQ\u003c\/em\u003e story as its centerpiece, and featuring six additional essays plus an introduction, \u003cem\u003ePops\u003c\/em\u003e illuminates the meaning, magic, and mysteries of fatherhood as only Michael Chabon can.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Chabon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0062834622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780062834621\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 5.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/26\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2018 pg. 5\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2018 pg. 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/05\/2018","brand":"Michael Chabon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43981445169407,"sku":"9780062834621","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_162e453c-6e87-457e-9c4c-bee747df1a16.jpg?v=1683255615","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pops-michael-chabon-9780062834621","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
