Joseph Epstein on Grandfatherhood
April 28th, 2015




Commentary has just published the great Joseph Epstein’s chapter from The Dadly Virtues. It’s about the fashions of parenting and the experience of being a grandfather and it’s just beautiful. I cannot recommend it enough.

If you haven’t pre-ordered the book already, this should nudge you along because the whole book is really this good.

Also, a reminder: You need to register for the May 11 AEI event if you’re planning to come.

    FWIW, Jonathan is not kidding — the Epstein essay just kills it. Epstein reminds me a lot of my own dad — both are Chicago Jews who grew up on the north side around the same time (Joseph is six years older than my dad.) His writing just always hits home for me.
