"From an award-winning writer whose work bristles with 'hard-won strength, insight, agility, and love' (Maggie Nelson), an exquisite and troubling narrative of masculinity, violence, and society"--

Insightful and light

I found some interesting and novel ideas about masculinity, but I felt most of them lacked development. They felt like glimpses of light, some interesting perspectives about familiar subjects, and I only wish the author had spent some more time delving into them. Perhaps I was waiting for a more 'academic' text. The book does include some short interviews with researchers and includes a reading list at the end, which is great and I'll probably find what I was looking for in some of them.
