What is the aim or goal of your writing: Contemporary Authors says, "In two novels written in the late 1980s, Slote departs from sports ficton and science-fiction toics. Father and child relationships are explored in Moving In, and the sequel, A Friend Like That. The questions he asks in is novels are: What is the role of sports in life experience? What makes up the relationship of father and son? What are a father's expectations? How can a son live up to them?"
