Tim Samuels knows it isn't always easy to be a man. In a disarmingly honest and funny way, he sets about revealing and challenging many of the ways men now find themselves living - taking on everything from war, religion and pornography, to fatherhood and relationships. The book is important as well as charming: something for many men, and as importantly women, to read, learn and be consoled by.

While it is often very funny, it is also insightful, both independently and in the context of broader thinking about the predicament of contemporary men… A delight… moving… and in an ambitiously hybrid form, he bolsters these observations with reporting (he is a radio host and television journalist, who has covered immigration to Britain and America’s death row), plus research into the anthropology and history of masculinity.
