About this title

Synopsis:

"By turns powerful, heartbreaking, wise, and funny, these essays and other works of nonfiction break down the narrow stereotypes associated with manhood. Featured is writing from Peter Carey, Bill Bryson, Scott Adams, Nancy Lerner, Mohammed Khadra, Val Maslen, Simon Carr, J. J. Bell, David Quammen, and Alden Nowlan, among others. The wide variety of perspectives include Dilbert's view on why men really don't rule the world, a widowed father learning to show his love to his sons, a teacher explaining why she loves teaching boys, a man describing his abuse in a church school, a son nursing his father on an isolated island, and Bill Bryson expressing his anger about sports."
