Manhood: A Journey from Childhood Into the Fierce Order of Virility (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780226471419)

"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
