American Men: Stories of Modern Masculinity: August Books
Autor Jordan Ritter Connen Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 apr 2026
"Empathetic and quietly profound." The New York Times
From celebrated investigative journalist Jordan Ritter Conn (The New York Times, Sports Illustrated, ESPN) comes a fascinating and challenging portrait of modern manhood – as seen through the lens of four American men with vastly different backgrounds and experiences.
Between the weight of expectation and the restrictive force of the patriarchy pressing down on them, it is no wonder that so many men today feel stuck. But these debates on modern manhood often fail to consider the actual lives of men themselves: how do they live their lives day to day? Who do they love? What are their dreams?
Written from the perspectives of four very different men, Ryan, Gideon, Joseph and Nate, American Men explores the male psyche as each of them experiences trauma and recovery, violence, sex, power and powerlessness, as well as the difficulties of forming relationships in the context of contemporary life.
In part a condemnation of its faults, as well as a celebration of its virtues, American Men presents a truthful, balanced portrait of manhood and masculinity, as it exists today.
'Wise, insightful, and harrowing, American Men will leave readers both shattered and inspired’ - Jennifer Finney Boylan, author of Cleavage: Men, Women, and the Space Between Us, and (with Jodi Picoult) Mad Honey
