MANHOOD FOR AMATEURS

Posted by Brian Bassingthwaighte in Auto/Biography, Comedy, Family, Nonfiction, tags: Auto/Biography, Essays, Literature

MICHAEL CHABON

Manhood is a compilation of memories and essays loosely based on the theme of masculinity. Chabon is a wonderfully witty and descriptive writer. His musings on installing a towel rack in the bathroom is hilarious. There is an emotional honesty in this work as Chabon writes about is life with his wife and children. His insights into his life and culture are frequently heart warming.

A very good read.
