Join us for a virtual reading and discussion with Steve Majors\, author of Man Made: Searching for Dads\, Daddies\, Father Figures\, and Fatherhood. \n\n\n\nTogether over Zoom\, we’ll discuss the journey of becoming the father figure you needed growing up; the intersections of queerness\, race\, and masculinity; and more. \n\n\n\nAll are invited to attend this free event\, although registration is required.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister Today!\n\n\n\n\nAbout Man Made: Searching for Dads\, Daddies\, Father Figures\, and Fatherhood \n\n\n\nNot all little boys want to grow up to be like their dads. The shy ones\, the sensitive ones\, the ones people mock as strange or call queer—sometimes they want to grow up to be loved by men who stand in for their fathers. They’ll put up with bullying from an older brother\, taunts from the gym teacher\, long work hours from a boss\, and even discipline from a gay daddy\, all as a means to discover what kind of man they truly want to be.  \n\n\n\nIn this poignant and provocative memoir\, Steve Majors takes us on a journey of his own self-discovery as he grows from a gay boy in search of a father figure to a gay man grappling with what it means to be a father himself. \n\n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\n\nSteve Majors is the author of High Yella: A Modern Family Memoir. His writings have been published in the New York Times\, Washington Post\, Boston Globe\, CNN Opinion\, NBC Think\, and elsewhere. \n\n\n\nPre-order Man Made today!
