As a grown-up I can value the character development and also sophisticated prose crafted by the author. It had a profound impact on me at that age as well as 26 years later on I just reread it with joy.

Some readers will love this book for its idiosyncrasies and particular look at parenthood, especially its view as one where each parent sees their child differently and wants different futures for them. It is a word meant to stand on its own, so this is where I will leave it. I remember being taught that the word “unique” is a superlative so no reason to attach words like very or quite or extremely to it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In between celebrating his accomplishment, the “Panini” rapper responded to critics and even called out one company for seemingly attempting to ride the coat tails of his success.
