Write About Now

Michael Ian Black is a comedian, actor, and writer. His new book, A BETTER MAN: A (Mostly Serious) Letter to My Son, offers a thoughtful and personal look at the complicated meaning of masculinity in an era of the Angry White Male, lawless insurrections, school shootings, and #MeToo. For a comedian, this is a pretty heavy topic. We talk about his own unusual upbringing, the shortcomings of traditional masculinity, dating and relationships in today’s world, and ultimately what it takes to be a better man.
