Abtin belongs to a family associated with trophy-winning sport but is uninterested in winning and shows talent for painting.
Abtin’s father insists on training, trophies, particular foods, appearance and prescribed ways of behaving.
Notice the intensity of the father’s expectations: training, winning, appearance and prescribed habits are all demanded. The illustrations are described as exaggerated, glowering and sardonic rather than realistic.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: another book-specific source is still needed.
