Mr. McCane
Roy Wood Jr. did not have the best relationship with his father. He shares what he’s learned from him (rolling my eyes) as well as several other men who had to fill in the gaps. It’s written as a memoir for his son Henry.
This is one of the best memoirs I’ve read, and I love when this genre has you going through several emotions. Sometimes I forget how funny he is. I laughed out loud many times, became upset, and sometimes I was sad for him.
Although this is about the men in his life, he doesn’t forget about his mother, who plays a major role in his life. One of my favorite parts of the book is when he and his mother argue with each other. Pure comedy gold.
I really enjoyed the cover of this book. The art is amazing. As a matter of fact, that’s his mother at the bottom left.
Here’s a quote: Roy’s mother: “You got a ride home from a goddamn drunk?” Roy: “Yup. But better to meet a drunk than a kidnapper.”
One man Roy writes about is the Amazing Trevor Noah. I don’t know if you have read his memoir Born a Crime, but if you haven’t, I highly suggest that you do. I love the fact that they are close friends and both have great memoirs. The Man of Many Fathers is a must-read, and the audiobook is top-tier.
