Drawing on examples from the historical and cultural record?from King David to The Catcher in the Rye 's Holden Caulfield?this book offers a compelling examination of the heroic and tragic elements of male experience to define the nature of masculinity in the modern world.
To those who think that Robert Bly had something going, but somehow got it all wrong; to those who have trouble getting in touch with their, "feminine side" but are not about to degenerate into redneck imbecility; and to those who just like a good story that will evoke many memories, this book is a pleasant surprise. Told from the point of view of a philosophy teacher at an all boys' prep school, it makes telling points, which are both politically incorrect and thoughtful.
