When does youth end and responsibility begin? What is a good age for a man to give up his teenage ways and assume the dignity of manhood? How about 42? That's the shocking truth Sean Thomas encountered ten months ago, when his partner told him she was pregnant. And this book tells the story of what happened next, when Sean - a self-proclaimed lifelong hedonist - was forced to look at his own life, his self destructive ways, his nihilistic streak, his yearning for mayhem and excitement, and see how this married with his genuine desire to be a father. The book will follow Sean through those ten or eleven months. But it will also, as indicated, be a memoir of his previous life. In the same way that Millions of Women Are Waiting To Meet Youused Sean's internet-dating experiences to trigger reflections on previous loves and disasters, so Never Change A Baby With A Hangover will use the experience of impending fatherhood as a springboard, from whence he will explore the experiences that have made him who he is. And underlying it all will be the central theme - how you move from destructiveness to creation, from bohemian to bourgeois, from bad to dad. Probably.
