Synopsis

This book explores the varied ways men respond to the precarities of life. Using novels and autobiographies, LaMothe surveys depictions of masculinities gone awry as well as portrayals of courageous, resilient men who find ways to adopt more life-enriching forms of relating to other men, women, and more-than-human species.
