What's the difference between this anthology and the average parenting guide? I'd been involved in zines before for the past five or six years so I put a little message on a couple zine boards and got a lot of responses, and that's what started Issue One. Generally, it was about control or discipline or kind of based on manipulation, and I didn't want any of that stuff. I was dealing with trying to find some help and guidance when my son was in his young teens-dealing with drug use, pornography-and when I was really starting to look for guidance out in the world there wasn't a lot out there that was accessible from any kind of radical perspective, nor was there anything about fathering that really felt comfortable to me. The Alibi talked to Moniz at his home in Berkeley, where he had just returned from his day job teaching literature and creative writing at Berkeley City College. He'll be joined by other speakers, including local author Jessica Mills ( My Mother Wears Combat Boots: A Parenting Guide for the Rest of Us). Moniz will be reading from Rad Dad: Dispatches from the Frontiers of Fatherhood on Sunday, Dec. ![]() An anthology was published earlier this year combining the best of “Rad Dad” -which has been around for six years-and selections from Jeremy Adam Smith’s Daddy Dialectic blog. Its essays on parenting, radicalism and society stand in nicely for the mountain of traditional parenting books available at any bookstore. “Rad Dad” is a submissions-based zine edited by father and veteran zinester Tomas Moniz.
