Audiobook review of Raising Raffi by Keith Gessen

In his enlightening Raising Raffi: The First Five Years (6 hours), journalist, translator, professor and novelist Keith Gessen shares how he’s been affected and adjusted by the method of elevating his son. He discusses how his expectations of parenting have in comparison with the truth, evaluates the evolution of parenting literature and displays on being a Russian immigrant. Thematic chapters make the ebook straightforward to learn in installments. In one of the longest and most poignant sections, Gessen’s “bear dad” engages with the “tiger mom” phenomenon.

Gessen reads his personal audiobook, bringing candor and self-awareness to the efficiency. His New York accent is punchy and fast when conveying the pressures positioned on up to date fathers. Ultimately, he brings a way of reassurance to his ebook, which charts a brand new method to fatherhood with readability, humor and pathos.
