“A father is a man who fails every day.”
At least that's what Michael Chabon says in “The Losers Club,” the opening piece in his new non-fiction collection Manhood for Amateurs. Ever since a humiliating attempt to start a comic book club in his teenage years, Chabon has suffered from an overwhelming feeling of inadequacy in his roles as a man, writer and father.
