Manhood: A Journey from Childhood into the Fierce Order of Virility in Bloomington, MN

"Not only one of the frankest of autobiographies, but also a brilliantly written book, Leiris'
Manhood
mingles memories, philosophic reflections, sexual revelation, meditations on bullfighting, and the life-long progress of self-discovery."--
Washington Post Book World
"Leiris writes to appall, and thereby to receive from his readers the gift of a strong emotion--the emotion needed to defend himself against the indignation and disgust he expects to arouse in his readers."--Susan Sontag,
New York Review of Books
