Program Description

Event Details

Join us for an Author talk and Book Signing with two-time National Magazine Award winner Tom Junod

Tom Junod’s memoir, "In the Days of My Youth I Was Told What It Means to Be a Man ," has received widespread acclaim for its "bravura writing" and its deeply personal exploration of masculinity through the lens of a son’s relationship with his philandering, larger-than-life father.

In the Days of My Youth I Was Told What It Means to Be a Man is an intensely emotional detective story powered by a series of cascading revelations. The book is a triumph of bravura writing; it is a tale of a son reckoning with the consequences of his father’s life, and in the end, the story of the son’s redemption.

The Wall Street Journal calls it "one of the great literary tributes to a complex paterfamilias," Kirkus calls it an "enthralling family memoir" and an "unromantic commentary on manhood" written with both panache and feeling."
