This is another great piece by Matt. Though it is about a very serious and emotional subject, Matt manages to keep the tone light and playful- as hilarious as always. When I read the title I was expecting a different Matt than the one I had listened to several times before, but found, to my great delight, that Matt was as exceptional a writer as ever- playing on the idea of his father as a character in his novels, and framing it as the family that suffers more. Listening to this piece, I find myself (and anyone listening) both laughing and walking away a little more thoughtful. Thanks so much, and can't wait to hear more!
