Description

Constructing Masculinity: A man on stage, supported by various members of his family, his classmates, his therapist, his exes, his future partners, colleagues, and students, offers the fruit of his reflection.<br><br> A life condensed into seven vignettes and roughly twice as many formative anecdotes, summoned to explore the dizzying nature of a genre and all its inherent constraints. The author got a little carried away with that long sentence; the rest will be simpler. I promise.<br><br> From childhood to adulthood, from oppression to emancipation, from abusive virility to a singular masculinity, The First Sex is a journey. And a sharing.
