Manhood for Amateurs: The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband, Father, and Son
Author(s): Michael Chabon
A Best Book Of The Year
"Time - St. Louis Post-Dispatch - Kansas City Star San Francisco Chronicle - NPR - Seattle Times"
A shy manifesto, an impractical handbook, the true story of a fabulist, an entire life in parts and pieces, "Manhood for Amateurs" is the first sustained work of personal writing from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon. In these insightful, provocative, slyly interlinked essays, one of our most brilliant and humane writers addresses with his characteristic warmth and lyric wit the all-important question: What does it mean to be a man today?
