YOU GOTTA FIGHT.
FOR YOUR RIGHT.
TO DADDY
Screenwriter James Thoo’s memoir launches at a time when its central theme of fighting for the win is more relevant than ever.
PALOOKA: 12 Rounds To Fatherhood addresses the millennial man’s desire to raise a family, dissecting the modern male identity through the lens of in vitro fertilisation (IVF).
His hilarious, raw and deeply personal account of the process — “one prolonged uppercut to the scrotum” — reveals the silent blows of infertility on the male psyche.
The book is must-have armour for men and women going through assisted reproduction treatments, IVF doctors trying to mentally prepare patients, and anyone yearning to be a parent.
