註釋Tony Hardy is 43 and trying to become a dad for the first time. He is typical of those self-absorbed 40-somethings who live in the cashed-up inner suburbs. Delaying fatherhood wasn't a conscious act for Tony. Neither was getting older.When his girlfriend miscarries twice in five months, he is forced to grow up. They commit to IVF and Tony is forced to reflect on his non-existent relationship with his father and whether he truly wants to be a dad. He is stuck. He is a man in the foetal position hoping to make a foetus.Fifteen Percent Pregnant is an honest, confronting and funny book about a man's reflections on all things, while watching the girl he loves be pushed, prodded and hypnotised through IVF. Tony critiques childhood, sex, career, tarot cards, a women's pain tolerance versus his own, pregnancy, money, funerals and true love.
