I was back on the Dad Lit Pod with Dan to talk about a recent novel called Where When It Rains by John Duffy. It's one of my favourite books of 2025 and absolutely warrants a deeper dive into its pages.

From there, the conversation progresses (digresses?) into whether there is space for novels like this one in today's culture and the lack of millennial male authors in the literary fiction world. Would a book like  Portnoy’s Complaint be published today? Does the world in 2025 really need 300 pages of Philip Roth cranking his hog? Thankfully, Duffy's novel is much more than that.
