life between naps: stories from a full-time unemployed, stay-at-home dad

life between naps is a humorous collection of stories and essays about a man and his ridiculous understanding of what it means to be a parent and husband. As a stay-at-home dad, Jim to tries to go with the flow, but when a urgent intestinal explosion is about to change the lives of everybody at the local grocery store, it gets a narrative unlike any you've heard before. His stories are light, funny and touch on the awkward experiences we all face: Gym memberships, doppelgängers, whales, Costco, false bravado and the uncomfortable questions of puberty. "Noonan's subjects are inherently entertaining," and "his collection is goofy but highly energetic and warmhearted..." -Booklife Jim Noonan was a shoe salesman, park ranger, landscaper, fitness instructor, student, waiter, actor, comedian and nanny before deciding to become a stay-at-home parent/unemployed writer. He lives in Chicago with his wife and two daughters and hopes that one day he'll have enough interesting experiences to warrant a 2500 character bio. Until that time comes, he'll be happy if he's recognized as "That one guy. You know, the one who wrote that book."
