Online, what must count as a "hilariously embarrassing" part was highlighted by Time's Lev Grossman:
Michael Chabon decided to be honest with his children, even if it meant admitting to his 10-year-old son that he had smoked pot. "How many times?" his son asked, stunned. "I had a moment's pause before replying," Chabon writes, "unwilling to pronounce those two simple words: one million." [Italics theirs.]
Once again, media liberals find illegal drug use amusing, just a little embarassing -- and thoroughly typical when it comes to evaluating "what it means to be a father, son, and husband in the 21st century." Apparently, according to Time, another typical manhood exercise in the new century is finding the right "man purse" for your belongings:
Chabon brings his prodigiously entertaining verbal intelligence to a very personal investigation of what it means to be a father, a son and a husband at a moment when those job descriptions are so plagued by contradictions that a simple act like buying a bag to put your stuff in — a man purse, or "murse," if you will — is all but impossible.
Let's ask again: How "mainstream" are the "mainstream media"?
