Manhood for Amateurs
Manhood for Amateurs | Michael Chabon
7 posts | 17 read | 14 to read
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?

Oh, the irony of taking a break from a book about misogyny to read a book about manhood 😉

When Michael Chabon's name gets tossed around, Littens often say 'I've never read his work. Where should I start?' His most well known fiction is usually suggested, but my favorite is non-fiction. What a dad. I could gush, or you could read this article and see a glimmer of what makes him an outstanding parent. Imagine what it would be like to feel so understood when you were a teen. http://www.gq.com/story/my-son-the-prince-of-fashion
