Publisher's Summary
Following on from his critical smash and Sunday Times best-selling debut, Raven Smith’s Trivial Pursuits, Raven is back with a pin sharp, hilarious and incisive exploration of what it means to be a man in the modern day.
Part memoir, part commentary on masculinity, Raven Smith’s Men isn’t so much for men as about them. Raven has been trying to distil what it is about men that has kept him intrigued his whole life. It boils down to three things. Firstly, he loves them. Secondly, he can see how endlessly problematic they are. Thirdly, both these things converge in his own sense of self and his own masculinity.
This book is about men because, in an annoying way, everything is. We live in a patriarchy, but Raven has no agenda or vendetta. This book is his noticing of particular dynamics, a cautious reverence of a life lived in parallel with other men, observing masculinity’s odd amorphous boundaries. He’s both curious and terrified of his own participation in the great male privilege, and while this book will not shy away from difficult truths, it will also make you laugh an enormous amount!

Funny, thoughtful, sincere.
An exceedingly fun book full of stories of a youth well-lived, followed by chapters that made me ball my little eyes out. Raven Smith is a genuine and unpretentious writer who has got me listening to Klaxons and Bloc Party again.
