A review by emorej
Fictional Father by Joe Ollmann
5.0
I liked this book more than I thought I would
It’s quite meta in some ways (a writer writing about a fictional writer writing a book) and very funny in some places. I liked the introspection about the relationship with the dad and the boyfriend (LOTS to relate to there).
The fictional writer is a contradictory mess, self aware and self deprecating which I find very funny, and I wonder if this fiction isn’t based on a lot of personal history
