Manhood for Amateurs: The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband, Father, and Son (Large Print)

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 Michael Chabon. In these insightful, provocative, slyly interlinked essays, one of our most brilliant and humane writers presents his autobiography and his vision of life in the way so many of us experience our own: as a series of reflections, regrets and re-examinations, each sparked by an encounter, in the present, that holds some legacy of the past. In the process, he illuminates what it means to be a man today. At once dazzling, hilarious and moving, Manhood for Amateurs is destined to become a classic.
