My Old Man consists of men (mainly journalists) writing with touching warmth and candour about their fathers - John Mulvey's recent piece about his dad's mental decline and struggles with Alzheimer's is particularly poignant and painful to read. I can't help wondering, though, just how many of the contributors could actually bring themselves to express the same sentiments verbally face-to-face, or whether they ever did when they had the opportunity to do so. Not that I'm judging - I don't suppose many of us do or could either.
