I am really, really late to this party, but....wow. Just. Wow.
Michael Chabon is quite a writer. I just finished MANHOOD FOR AMATEURS: The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband, Father, and Son, and.....wow.
I highly recommend this book to every husband, father or son. With warmth, candor and insight, Chabon delivers a manifesto of what it should be like to be a man. I admire the relationship he seems to have with his children, his wife, the the world in general. Clearly, he doesn't just live life and he doesn't just love life. But he apparently lives a life closely examined.
If Michael Chabon's fiction is anywhere close to as well-written and engaging as "Manhood," sign me up.
