Not your real dad, but dads in general. Dads are everywhere. Lurking in our movies, television shows, and video games. Spouting homespun wisdom and atrocious jokes, wallowing in might-have-beens and back-in-my-days, or rigidly defending the status quo. These fictional dads fuel a myth of fatherhood. What is that myth trying to tell us? And what is it trying to sell us?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDad Bod is a clever, riveting collection of essays about father figures in popular culture. From Gandalf to Homer Simpson, Die Hard to The Mandalorian, these essays unpack the tropes that inform our collective image of fatherhood. Follow Cian Cruise, newly minted dad, as he riffs on the stereotypes and lore of fatherhood, traces a contemporary art history of dads in popular culture, and journeys to the heart of dadness to become a better father.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA RARE MACHINES BOOK\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781459749474\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cian Cruise","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44098780791034,"sku":"9781459749474","price":8.57,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1668161352875_book.jpg?v=1668288270","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/dad-bod-portraits-of-pop-culture-papas-9781459749474","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
