Although no man is as close to us as our father, we often know hardly more about him than about the love life of the water ouzel. Because fathers are always men too - and they don't like to talk. Not about themselves, not about their feelings, weaknesses, longings, needs, and desires. That's why fathers so often receive ties as gifts. And that's why it's high time for them to answer in writing all the questions we've always wanted to ask them, to learn more about the most important man in our lives - and thus also about ourselves.
