- 'Gender, together with race and class, has become one of the most important cultural categories of modern consciousness - and unconsciousness. In this compelling account of the dilemmas, dangers and delights of modern masculinity, Horrocks, an academic turned psychotherapist, combines in a unique way a penetrating sociological and literary analysis with sensitive and knowledgeable psychoannalytic insights (not to mention Film, Anthropology, Pop and Zen). Echoing The Female Eunuch he sees the fragility at the heart of maleness, the meekness of the macho, the fear of female power in partriarchal attitudes. At a time of bruising unemployment and epidemic suicide among young males, this book - humane but unsentimental, eclectic but harmonious, personal but not mawkish, scholarly but never obsucre - is likely to establish itself immediately as a contemporary classic.' - Jeremy Holmes, MB, BCh, FRCPsych.
