Let's Read 'Attachments: Essays on Fatherhood and Other Performances'

We're hosting a summer book club and you're invited! Plus, new perks for subscribers and a discount code.

It’s Book Club time!!! We’re in love with a new book, and we want to discuss it with everyone we know. Let’s read along side one another this summer, and come together in our virtual living room to discuss (byo bad Chardonnay, chillable red or baked brie).

On Wednesday August 7th (at 4pm Pacific / 7pm Eastern), we will host a live book club meeting on the exquisite new essay collection, Attachments: On Fatherhood and Other Performances and you are all invited!!! Lucas will join us for an interview and Q&A with Sarah and Miranda and all of you. We will also release an edited version of the meeting as a MOFITA episode!

Best of all? If you sign up as a paid subscriber before June 25th, we’ll send you a FREE COPY of Attachments! Paid subscribers will also get additional book club perks, like the option to submit questions for Lucas ahead of time.

And all of our subscribers have been gifted a very generous discount code. Order here by June 30th and use code PARENT50.

A collection of essays is perfect for a book club — you can read it cover-to-cover (highly recommended) or pick up and put down where you please. In Attachments, Lucas writes with tenderness, humility, and humor about how being a father intersects with his ideas on attention, identity, body image, aging, basketball, and more. If you want to read more about Attachments, you can check out Hannah Matthews’ Romper piece, This Dad Book Made Me Feel Seen As a Mom or this lovely interview in Lithub, A Different Kind of Dad Book. You can also read an excerpt from the book in Slate.
