This semester, I am taking a seminar on the Literary Themes: Fathers and fatherhood. I did not know what to expect throughout this course, but as we move past mid terms, I am pleased to report the class has been a wonderful experience. We were asked to read, Wolf at the Table by Augusten Burroughs and this book, is something like I have never read. It is a grim memoir of a boy, Augusten, and his memories of his childhood- - most negative and almost hard to read.
I thought this was a good blog topic, as we all have or had fathers and sometimes we take those relationships for granted. After reading this book, and watching the 1988 film Raising Arizona, I am grateful for my relationship with my father and step father.
Anyone familiar with either of these two examples? The book and/or the film? What did you think?
