Does the IRS have a Schedule C code for "Hipster Dad"? Because judging by his interview on Gothamist, Neal Pollack needs one. His parenting memoir Alternadad, due any day now [Jan. 7th, to be exact], got optioned for a movie, and, well, let's let him explain it:
What sort of projects are you involved in now?Also, he got beat up a lot in high school, but then, that's why we love him so.
I'm hip deep in this dad stuff. I'm keeping the blog on Nealpollack.com, which is a continuation of the stuff in Alternadad. I'm starting a parenting website, I wrote that screenplay, and if all goes well I'll hopefully be able to write a sequel to Alternadad. It's not that I don't have any other ideas, it's just that, at the moment, this is everything I'm doing. It's pretty much all "hipster dad" all the time for me.
