This article focuses on the book "Daughters: On Family and Fatherhood," written by Gerald Early. For African-American writers of autobiographical nonfiction, the ingredients for the big book come from a severely circumscribed recipe, one that often pre-supposes that our importance derives from the relations with white folks. Early's lyrical, humorous and occasionally unbearably honest meditation on what it is to be his daughters' father is a fine book. Early sets himself a limited and clearly defined turf to explore.
