What 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―simply because―it goes on being written every day.

At once dazzling, hilarious and moving, Manhood for Amateurs is destined to become a classic
