There are as many boyhoods and youngman-hoods as there are boys and young men, each distinct and complex; today we meet the chroniclers of two. With the quietly devastating The Boyhood of Cain, Michael Amherst charts the first painful rite of passage: from boy to adolescent. And with the darkly comic Fun and Games, John Patrick McHugh charts the second: from adolescence to manhood. Expect discussion of alternative masculinities of sensitivity, honesty, and frailty. Chaired by Michael Lee Richardson.
