Then, one Tuesday night in early June, Raffi was born, a child as real and complex and demanding of his parents' energy as he was singularly magical. Fatherhood is another country: a place where the old concerns are swept away, where the ordering of time is reconstituted, where days unfold according to a child's needs. Like all parents, Gessen wants to do what is best for his child. But he has no idea what that is. By turns hilarious and poignant, Raising Raffi is a story of what it means to invent the world anew.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 129mmAuthor: Keith GessenGenre: BiographyTopic: Literary CriticismType: FatherhoodRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
