Michael Chabon’s second collection of essays entitled “Manhood for Amateurs: The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband, Father, and Son” is an amazing insight. The collection is a breath of fresh air considering all the mom blogs and novels. Using his amazing literary skills and personal insights, the reader is drafted into the world of fatherhood, manhood, and everything related. Chabon effortless switches between the mundane and the whimsical, even going so far as to defend his “murse”. The book is an easy read, mainly because it feels like Chabon is speaking directly to you over lunch. Be prepared to chuckle, shake your head, and nod in agreement. This collection is not only for men, fathers, husbands, and sons, but for anyone looking for a lost weekend hearing tales seemingly mundane and trivial come to life.
In Ten Words: Insightful tour of the mental workings of a modern man.
