Chabon Michael - Manhood For Amateurs The Pleasures And Regrets Of A Husband Father And Son - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Chabon has always been a magical prose stylist adept at combining the sort of social and emotional detail found in Philip Roth's Goodbye Columbus stories with the metaphor - rich descriptions of John Updike and John Irving's inventive sleight of hand . As in his novels he shifts gears easily between the comic and the melancholy the whimsical and the serious demonstrating once again his ability to write about the big subjects of love and memory and regret without falling prey to the Scylla and Charybdis of cynicism and sentimentality. Michiko Kakutani New York Times Wondrous wise and beautiful. David Kamp New York Times Book Review The bestselling and Pulitzer Prize - winning author of Werewolves in Their Youth Wonderboys The Mysteries of Pittsburgh The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay and The Yiddish Policemen's Union Michael Chabon takes his brutally observant unfailingly honest marvelously human gaze and turns it on his own life (Time) in the New York Times bestselling memoir Manhood for Amateurs.
