Daddio! (A Novel for the Climate Confused)
A man drives his elderly evil-tempered father to a funeral. They never arrive as their dysfunctional dynamic unravels on a journey overshadowed by a climate-ravaged future. Daddio! is a portrayal of the crisis in climate and democracy, a parable for our times – but don’t worry, it’s a comedy!
