Synopsis

'A brilliant writer.' Russell Tovey ‘Thoroughly entertaining.’ OTEGHA UWAGBA ‘Funny and beautifully revealing.’ BELLA MACKIE ‘Wise, sharp and naughty.’ THE OBSERVER ‘Herein lie the men of Raven Smith. Each of them has left a mark, a memory, a stain, whether they meant to or not. Some hit deep, and I caught feels. Some I discarded like a clip-on neck tie’ From the bestselling author of, comes a pin sharp, hilarious and incisive exploration of what it means to be a man in the modern day. This book is about men because, in an annoying way, everything is. Funny men, tall men, charming men. Stepdads, actual dads and ripped ‘sports dads’. Raven Smith has been trying to distil what it is about men that has kept him intrigued his whole life. Part memoir, part exploration of the peculiar dynamics and amorphous boundaries of masculinity, Raven looks unflinchingly at his own history, offering a cautious reverence of a life lived in parallel with other men. Blending the personal, the primal and the perennial, these are Raven Smith’s men in all their infuriating, labyrinthine complexity.

I felt like a curtain had been pulled back, allowing me not only to inhabit his brain for a while, but also to look at men through the eyes of one who finds them so interesting, frustrating and addictive. Raven himself is the lynchpin of this book, and .’ ‘MEN is stylish, funny, and acid-tongued, which is to say it’s everything I love about Raven Smith’s writing” ‘In a nutshell: Boys boys boys. Writer, charmer-about-town and meme magician… – and where he fits into it all.’ ‘n is a new collection of essays about the writer’s conflicted love for men, and it’s just as wise, sharp and naughty as you’d expect from one of the funniest men on the internet.’
