Review of My Dad and Pre-Socratic Thought

I certainly enjoyed this surprising piece about our fathers / our selves.
As the piece went on, I found myself looking forward to hearing what the father would do next. I liked the insight that we can make some guesses as to our own identity by contemplating the stories we tell about our fathers (or our mothers). In the end that is what each of us is - a jumbled collection of stories. It would be interesting to hear what stories the author's children would tell about him! I definitely recommend it.
