Although Abel doesn't have an answer and likely never will, he understands deeply that 'the bond between a parent and child can sometimes be explained with words.' Here - brilliant, hilarious, and loving - are those words.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDad Era \u003c\/i\u003eexplores Jordan Abel's role as a father to his daughter, Phoenix, and his relationship to popular and often toxic constructions of 'fatherhood' on the internet. Breaking apart the idiomatic registers that define parenting today using distortion, contrast, sequencing, and palimpsest, all qualities that have come to define his oeuvre, Abel explores what it means to live, laugh, and yes, father 'in a world without dads.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJordan Abel\u003c\/b\u003e is a queer Nisga'a writer from Vancouver.
