About this listen
Witty, tender and daring essays from the British David Sedaris
'A bold new voice in nonfiction writing.' Jenn Ashworth
When it comes to the challenge of being a man, Adam Farrer always seems to find a way to fall short…
In his second collection of candid personal essays, he vividly recounts his struggles to live up to masculine expectations. From the calamity of his first serious relationship, an obsession with Prince that sees everyone questioning his sexuality, the repercussions of his adult circumcision and his doubts about his ability to survive the apocalypse to his morbid fear of physical combat and his brush with Satanic Panic in 1980s rural Suffolk, this is a book about growing up, trying to define yourself as a man but somehow always missing the mark.
