A provocative, personal, and useful look at boyhood, and a radical
plea for rethinking masculinity and teaching young men to give and
receive love "Surprising . . . [Black's] tone is so lovely, his
empathy so clear . . . Black's writing is modest, clear,
conversational . . . corny, maybe. But helpful. Like a dad."--The
New York Times Book Review With hope and with humor, Michael Ian
Black skillfully navigates the complex gender issues of our time
and delivers a poignant answer to an urgent question: How can we
be, and raise, better men? Part memoir, part advice book, and
written as a heartfelt letter to his college bound son, A Better
Man offers up a way forward for boys, men, and anyone who loves
them. Comedian, writer, and father Black examines his complicated
relationship with his own father, explores the damage and rising
violence caused by the expectations placed on boys to "man up," and
searches for the best way to help young men be part of the
solution, not the problem. "If we cannot allow ourselves
vulnerability," he writes, "how are we supposed to experience
wonder, fear, tenderness?"
