My Father's Tears is a collection of all the short stories John Updike wrote since the year 2000. The book was published after his death. Most of the stories are about older men living in New England. One story is a family travel tale of going to Morocco. Some of the men in the stories are not especially likable. Some times unlikable people can be more interesting. One story about a 50 year class reunion was very entertaining. Marital infidelity is described in most of the stories. Most of the words describe the daily mundane life of older men.
