Daddy Issues

What does it mean to be a man today? How does one negotiate relations with the opposite sex? How does one teach one's son the values of masculinity, without its entrenched associations with aggression and entitlement? And in the more relevant case of award-winning journalist Calvin Hennick, how does one keep one's black son safe on the streets? As he puts it: "I'm white, and my wife is black, and I have nothing to teach my son about being a black man in America." Winner of Pushcart 2019 Editor's Book Award, Hennick's just-published book Once More To The Rodeo is a beautifully-written and poignant memoir of manhood and fatherhood, touching on Black Lives Matter, MeToo and other contemporary issues.

Once More To The Rodeo is available in bookstores.
