DescriptionA 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? Reviews"Chabon takes a big, fat swing at the essay form with his second collection and achieves success. . . . These warm and thoughtful essays underscore just how good a wordsmith Chabon is-regardless of the form he chooses."--Jerry Eberle, Booklist |
