MANHOOD FOR AMATEURS. The Pleasures and Regrets of a Husband, Father, and Son

New York: Harper Collins, 2009. First edition. Hardcover. A fine copy in decorated orange and white boards in a fine dust jacket. This signed edition has been specially bound by the publisher. Chabon's first non-fiction book. A shy manifesto, an impractical handbook, the true story of a fabulist, an entire life in parts and pieces. In these insightful, provacative, slyly interlinked essays, presents his autobiography and his vision of life in the way so many of us experience our own lives: as a series of reflections, regrets, and reexaminations, each sparked by an encounter, in the present, that holds some legacy of the past. 306 pages.
