Join Oliver Munday as he discusses his book Head of Household, a short story collection reckoning with fatherhood “Munday has a gift for making the sad dad more than just a trope. Clear, bittersweet tales of masculinity come undone.” — Kirkus From stories about a father who shows up hung over to chaperone his daughter’s kindergarten bowling trip, to another who rediscovers his love of graffiti, and a father who pays for his legal fees and apartment through his OnlyFans earnings, Head of Household (Simon & Schuster) is a short story collection that reckons with divorce, financial anxiety, and sexuality to create a collage of the beleaguered father, a man on the front lines of a masculinity in crisis — stories of men salvaging the shreds of their identities while staging puppet shows and pretending to be ponies for their children.
