The book, Mr. D’Aries’ debut nonfiction in 2012, was marketed as an incisive, darkly funny memoir about a father’s influence on his son’s attitudes toward violence, sex, family, life and death.

D’Aries has served on the board of PEN/New England as a member of the Freedom-to-Write Committee, leading writing workshops in prisons, shelters, hospitals and residential care facilities. He is co-chairing the inaugural PEN Writing and Trauma Conference.
An associate professor of writing and literature, D’Aries directs the low-residency M.F.A. in Creative and Professional Writing at Western Connecticut State University.
