In a new collection of essays, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon contemplates fatherhood from both sides of the looking glass: as the father of four children who are just beginning to find their way in the world, and as the son of a father who's approaching life's end. Chabon joins Tom Power to talk about Pops: Fatherhood in Pieces and share his wisdom about the meaning of fatherhood.
