A better man : a (mostly serious) letter to my son / Michael Ian Black. by Black, Michael Ian, 1971- Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, 2020. Call #: 305.31 B627b Subjects Black, Michael Ian, 1971-   Comedians -- United States -- Biography.   Television actors and actresses -- United States -- Biography.   Authors, American -- 21st century -- Biography.   Fathers and sons -- Biography.   Men -- Identity.   Masculinity. ISBN:  9781616209117 (hc.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  291 p. ; 19 cm. Summary:  "In a world in which the word masculinity now often goes hand in hand with toxic, comedian, actor, and father Michael Ian Black offers up a way forward for boys, men, and anyone who loves them. Part memoir, part advice book, and written as a heartfelt letter to his college-bound son, A Better Man reveals Black’s own complicated relationship with his 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?'. Honest, funny, and hopeful, 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?"--Jacket.
