Non-Fiction Memoir
In Dad is Fat, stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan, who’s
best known for his legendary riffs on Hot Pockets, bacon,
manatees, and McDonald's, expresses all the joys and horrors
of life with five young children—everything from cousins
("celebrities for little kids") to toddlers’ communication
skills (“they always sound like they have traveled by
horseback for hours to deliver important news”), to the
eating habits of four year olds (“there is no difference
between a four year old eating a taco and throwing a taco on
the floor”). Reminiscent of Bill Cosby’s Fatherhood,
Dad is Fat is sharply observed, explosively funny,
and a cry for help from a man who has realized he and his
wife are outnumbered in their own home.
