Manhood for AmateursAuthor(s): Michael Chabon\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: HarperCollins Publishers, United Kingdom\nImprint: Fourth Estate Ltd\nISBN-13: 9780007150410, 978-0007150410\nSynopsis\nMichael Chabon, author of WONDER BOYS and the Pulitzer Prize-wining THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER & CLAY, has written an autobiographical narrative as inventive, beautiful and powerful as his novels.\n\nIn these insightful, provocative, slyly interlinked essays, one of our most brilliant and humane writers presents his autobiography and 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.\n\nWhat does it mean to be a man today? Chabon invokes and interprets and struggles to reinvent for us, with characteristic warmth and lyric wit, the personal and family history that haunts him even as it goes on being written every day. As a son, a husb.
