Manhood for Amateurs: The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband, Father, and Son BUY NOW
Introduction by Andrew Sean Greer
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, he 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.
What does it mean to be a man today? Chabon invokes and interprets and struggles to reinvent for us the personal and family history that haunts him even as - simply because - it goes on being written every day. A devoted son, a passionate husband, and above all the father of four young Americans, Chabon relates his memories of childhood, of his parents' marriage and divorce, of moments of painful adolescent comedy, and of giddy encounters with the popular art and literature of his own youth.
Michael Chabon is the bestselling and Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, A Model World, Wonder Boys, Werewolves in Their Youth, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, Summerland (a novel for children), The Final Solution, The Yiddish Policemen’s Union, Maps and Legends and Gentlemen of the Road. He lives in Berkeley, California, with his wife, the novelist Ayelet Waldman, and their children. Visit him online at www.michaelchabon.com.
