[Kurt · Rating 5 out of 5]

A pithy, sage, and ultimately heart-breaking memoir... Bausch reminds each of us that to compare cock sizes by the river is to engage with our soul's experience of Christ... No novel has pressed forward with such vigor into the anals of the bildungsroman form; as O'Connor notes, "Frottage, though eloquently described here, is not the norm. The aim of this book is to widen the working vocabulary of the adolescent male, to open his mind to all the possibilities of penis placement - whether static, dynamic, alive or dead - so that he may never again encounter another glans without laughing or moving quickly to his knees." Savagely funny, often biting, "Becoming A Man" never reveals its own heart without providing a mirror for our own. Sex, or nervous shaky-fingered attempts at it, will never be so delicately or deliciously rendered. -TN.

The essential foundation for an all male highschool education. Because of it - and Howard Blue - no 00' graduate will ever forget the vas deferens.
