From comedian, Emmy-nominated writer and producer, and former Daily Show correspondent Roy Wood Jr., The Man of Many Fathers is a laugh-out-loud memoir revealing that sometimes the best advice comes from the most surprising teachers. When Roy held his newborn son, he reflected on the gaps left by his own father, a civil rights voice in Birmingham, Alabama, and asked himself which lessons he had learned—and which he could pass on. Through stories of friends, mentors, fellow comedians, and unlikely figures, Roy shares what he’s learned with humor and heart, delivering the most memorable lessons, such as how to channel offering unforgettable lessons on resilience, fatherhood, and becoming a good man.
“Roy Wood Jr. has a rare superpower: he can teleport audiences from wherever they are into the rich, intricately crafted worlds he creates. Each story is infused with poignancy, sharp observation, and a humor few storytellers can match. Honest, raw and an absolute treat to read.”—Trevor Noah
“If Roy hasn’t already won you over with his comedy specials, then he will with The Man of Many Fathers. Not only is he one of the funniest comedians on the scene right now, he writes with humor and heart, infusing his quick wit with the life lessons he’s learned from his fathers (and his mother) to pass down to his son. Insightful and memorable.”—Chelsea Handler
“I’m not surprised that Roy has created such a thoughtful, funny book. Roy, like this book, is an embodiment of quality.”—Jim Gaffigan
