Authors@Google: Michael Lewis

Michael Lewis visits Google s Mountain View CA headquarters to discuss his book quot Home Game An Accidental Guide to Fatherhood quot This event took place on June 10 2009 as part of the Authors Google series Fatherhood for dummies acirc a perfectly frank and mercilessly funny account When he became a father Michael Lewis found himself expected to feel things that he didnt feel and to do things that he couldnt see the point of doing At first this made him feel guilty until he realized that all around him fathers were pretending to do one thing to feel one way when in fact they felt and did all sorts of things then engaged in what amounted to an extended cover-up Lewis decided to keep a written record of what actually happened immediately after the birth of each of his three children This book is that record But it is also something else maybe the funniest most unsparing account of ordinary daily household life ever recorded from the point of view of the man inside The remarkable thing about this story isnt that Lewis is so unusual Its that he is so typical The only wonder is that his wife has allowed him to publish it Michael Lewis the author of Moneyball and The Blind Side lives in Berkeley California with his wife Tabitha Soren and their three children Quinn Dixie and Walker
