Inherited Disorders: Stories, Parables & Problems

Patrimony. For Father’s Day reading, consider the debut by Adam Ehrlich Sachs titled, Inherited Disorders. In over a hundred short and shorter chapters, Sachs riffs on the many different dimensions of father-son relationships. The stories are funny, poignant, sometimes sad, and always witty and well-written. Sometimes the sins of the father are repeated, often the sons take the opposite path from the father. A sense of disorder permeates many stories, as does Sachs’ insight into human nature and the ways in which we behave. Rating: Four-star (I like it) Click here to purchase Inherited Disorders from amazon.com.
