Possessed with a precocious sense of style, Abe was in his element chatting with designers he idolized and turning a critical eye to the freshest runway looks of the season; Chabon Sr., whose interest in clothing stops at \"thrift-shopping for vintage western shirts or Hermès neckties,\" sat idly by, staving off yawns and fighting the impulse that the whole thing was a massive waste of time. Despite his own indifference, however, what gradually emerged as Chabon ferried his son to and from fashion shows was a deep respect for his son's passion. The piece quickly became a viral sensation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the \u003cem\u003eGQ\u003c\/em\u003e story as its centerpiece, and featuring six additional essays plus an introduction, \u003cem\u003ePops\u003c\/em\u003e illuminates the meaning, magic, and mysteries of fatherhood as only Michael Chabon can.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eChabon, Michael:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eMichael Chabon is the bestselling and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of \u003cem\u003eMoonglow \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eThe Amazing Adventures of Kavalier \u0026amp; Clay, \u003c\/em\u003e among many others.
