Michael Lewis, the best-selling author of Liar's Poker, The Money Culture, The New New Thing, Moneyball, The Blind Side, Panic, Home Game, The Big Short, and Boomerang, among other works, lives in Berkeley, California, with his wife and three children.
"Home Game, which was adapted from a series of Slate essays and is an accordingly zippy read, is hilarious but painfully candid, one man's uneasy reckoning with the potentially devastating consequences of parenting. It's unsparing, but Lewis is as honest with himself as he's been with his subjects. Grade: A-." -- The Onion AV Club "It's an engaging journal that selectively details how Dad grew up as well...Brief, clever and frank-a good gift for Father's Day." -- Kirkus Reviews "Lewis writes memorable, insightful, yet simple and brisk sentences as easily as the rest of us breathe." -- Marc Tracy - The New York Times Book Review "Unabashedly frank, hilarious and sweetly sentimental...a somewhat daring and in many ways groundbreaking book about what it's like to be a father in modern America...intensely honest." -- Amy Scribner - BookPage "Lewis is an insouciant raconteur who can spin out even standard dad stories (about, say, sending a kid to school dressed outlandishly) without making them sound stale." -- Ann Hulbert - Slate "His reflections capture both the unease and the excitement that fatherhood brings." -- Publishers Weekly
