BOOK / BAD DAD'S GUIDE 4. Guy Delisle

HUMOR

Challenging his children to video games while they're doing their homework, forgetting his daughter in a store and making her believe otherwise, telling them about his wonderful student life... when they didn't exist. Guy Delisle, author of works such as Shenzhen, Pyongyang, The Burmese Chronicles, The Jerusalem Chronicles, and Escape, as paternally incorrect as ever, returns with The Bad Dad's Guide 4, four years after the previous installment, to his favorite role: the best (bad) father in the world! His recipe: a healthy dose of bad faith, ill-timed tantrums, a lot of childish pranks, and, above all, a lot of humor.

Guy Delisle once again plays with our feelings of guilt in this fourth volume of the series and, for the greater enjoyment of his readers, takes on the role of the irresponsible and scoundrel father. Delisle delights in perverting children's imaginations and acts like a mean-spirited adult in front of his children, paying no attention to the consequences of his actions or the content of the stories he tells them.

"Without fear of the consequences of his actions, Delisle deploys his entire arsenal of botched schemes and tricks to manipulate his children (...) playing the role of an irresponsible father for our enjoyment. Premeditation and malice aforethought or pure carelessness and neglect? A question Delisle leaves to a reader who will surely be more interested in laughing out loud at his absurdities, intentional or not."
