What does it mean to be a man today? Michael Chabon presents a shy manifesto, an impractical handbook, the true story of a fabulist, an entire life in parts and pieces. In these insightful, provocative, slyly interlinked essays, Chabon 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.
