The laughs come in every paragraph. A masterpiece about sad, neurotic British fathers * Sunday Telegraph *
A man of infinite wisdom and experience when it comes to male parenting in the 21st century … The daddy of baby guides … quick-witted … excellent * Mail on Sunday *
I can’t think of a better guide than Marcus Berkmann … well-written, funny and wise * Literary Review *
Marcus Berkmann
Marcus Berkmann is a gifted journalist and public speaker, an ex-Independent on Sunday sports columnist, and an ex-Mail pop critic. He writes for the Spectator and Private Eye. His book The Rain Men (1996) is a modern classic that still regularly reprints. The Telegraph called it ‘the Fever Pitch of cricket’ and Sir Tim Rice called it ‘a masterpiece’. Marcus - who claims to have two small children - views parenting with the combined eye of Miriam Stoppard and Bertie Wooster.
