“I was laughing out loud as I read Dan's book of parental
(mis)adventures. He's a gifted writer with a hilarious voice and
rapier wit. " —Neil Patrick Harris
"Oh my GOD, I LOVE this book. It’s a hilarious account of Dan’s
journey through life, love, Hollywood, and fatherhood. It’s
brilliant and SO funny.” –Gwyneth Paltrow, Oscar-winning actress
and author of My Father's Daughter
"I read Dan's compelling and 'modern' book in almost one sitting
and when my face wasn't in my hands laughing myself silly, I was
touched and moved by Dan's ability to stay in his heart." —Jane
Lynch
"Okay. I know Dan. We’ve worked together for almost ten years. I’ve
never seen him naked. But after reading his book, I feel like I’ve
seen him without a stitch, no cover, completely bare. I also saw
myself in this as a parent and thought “Oh, I’m not alone with my
thoughts.” It’s good not to be all alone with these feelings and as
is usual for me, Dan is the perfect company to keep."—Lisa
Kudrow
“This book will make you laugh, cry, cringe in sympathy, and
delight along with Dan, his husband, and his two adorable kids.”
–Ayelet Waldman, author of Bad Mother
"This book is unbelievably heartwarming and hysterically funny. Dan
Bucatinsky's stories are beautiful, capturing the ways children
challenge and teach their parents about living." --Rosie
O'Donnell
“In Does This Baby Make Me Look Straight? Dan Bucatinsky captures
the joys, terrors, and absurdities of being a gay parent. But this
funny, touching book is for all parents—gay or straight” —Dan
Savage, author of The Kid
“Few people make me laugh as much as Dan Bucatinsky, but I was not
prepared this time to be crying between the guffaws. This is a book
I will return to again and again for its humor, that's a
no-brainer, but for its sly wisdom as well.” —Terrence McNally,
Tony award-winning playwright.
“Loved how Dan bounced from crazy silly to gut wrenching and
heartwarming. His humor was the sugar that made the crystal meth of
his life go down. I will be a better parent because he went places
and made some mistakes so I don't have to. Adoption is so difficult
and just being in a relationship is hard enough, but as he made
clear in the book, so frickin’ worth it.” —Tom Arnold
"Once I put my kid to bed, this book made me laugh out loud late
into the night. The perils of parenting as told by Dan are
hilarious and heartbreaking and utterly recognizable to anyone who
has a child. Brilliant." –Shonda Rhimes, creator of Grey’s
Anatomy
"I devoured this book. I love Dan's story, his kids and his
writing." –Jennifer Garner
"This is a smart, funny, relatable and altogether human book. How
are families made? With love, and courage, and laughter, and
grace––all abundantly present in this terrific story. I wish Dan
Bucatinsky lived next door to me so we could kvell and kvetch
together about our beautiful kids and the complexities of modern
parenthood." —Dani Shapiro, author of the bestselling memoir Slow
Motion
"This book is hilarious, honest, heartfelt. Any parent--any
person--gay or straight, will be able to relate to Dan Bucatinsky's
captivating story. He's not just a great comedy writer, he's a
great writer. With his own unique voice, he shines a light on the
joys and challenges of family life. I'd put it in a time capsule...
people in the future can read it and know what it was to be alive
at the dawn of the 21st Century." —Bill Wrubel, Executive Producer,
Modern Family
"If Erma Bombeck and Oscar Wilde wrote a book together, the result
would be 'Does This Baby Make Me Look Straight.' Lucky for Dan
Bucatinsky, they're both dead." --Josh Kilmer-Purcell, author of
I’m Not Myself These Days
“Writing with an inventive, fluid flair, he [Dan Bucatinsky]
delivers dramatic surprises replete with clever verbal sparring,
finding risible humor in life’s little banalities as well as its
emotional peaks.” —Publisher’s Weekly
