Description

 							
  
  Published 2014
  
  
  From the notoriously contrarian author of Against Love, a witty and probing examination of why badly behaved men
have been her lifelong fascination, on and off the page
  
  ****It's no secret that men often behave in
intemperate ways, but in recent years we've witnessed so many spectacular public displays of male
excess—disgraced politicians, erotically desperate professors, fallen sports icons—that we're left to
wonder whether something has come unwired in the collective male psyche.
  In the essays collected here, Laura
Kipnis revisits the archetypes of wayward masculinity that have captured her imagination over the years, scrutinizing
men who have figured in her own life alongside more controversial public examples. Slicing through the usual clichés
about the differences between the sexes, Kipnis mixes intellectual rigor and wit to give us compelling survey of the
affinities, jealousies, longings, and erotics that structure the male-female bond.

Review
  
  “Acerbic, wildly entertaining . . . Kipnis's combination of breeziness and erudition makes
her unusual and unusually valuable.” ―The Washington Post
  
  “The patriarchal world,
through Kipnis's eyes, is consistently and quietly funny. . . . Her coolheaded, ironical assessments of modern
masculinity read like perfectly timed eye rolls.” ―The New York Times Book Review
  
 
“These are times to try the weary feminist reader's patience, when the conversation seems dominated by absolutist
twenty-three-year-olds still burning off the righteous indignation of their first women's studies courses. It's a
cultural moment that begs for a worldly, ambiguity-friendly thinker like Laura Kipnis. . . . She is a swashbuckling
stylist, with a knack for nailing the essence of a remark by means of a canny metaphor. . . . Humor and a kind of rueful
empathy for human folly, not outrage, tends to be her go-to response.” ―Laura Miller, Salon
  
 
“There is much fun to be had in experiencing the way that Kipnis follows her topics into unexpected territory,
which is not unrelated to her charming inability to be the kind of easily outraged critic the world often seems to want.
. . . [An] insightful, intelligent, and frequently hilarious collection.” ―Bookforum
  
 
“A smart collection of weird, funny, and devotedly iconoclastic essays.” ―Chicago Sun-Times
 

  “Kipnis's gifts are on full display in this irresistible collection of essays, in which she weaves
together complex and penetrating insights about gender into provocative treatises.… Kipnis's arguments are never
predictable: for example, her chapter on ‘juicers,' ostensibly about steroid-abusing male athletes, evolves into a
profound soliloquy about writing, plagiarism, and labor markets. Her examination of modern manhood sheds as much light
on male vulnerability as it does on male privilege, entitlement, and abuse…. Kipnis has given us a necessary, and
often witty, book that shows a brilliant, agile mind at work.” ―Publishers Weekly (starred review)
 

  “Feisty, unapologetic forays into the messiness of gender relations… rendered in funny, spirited
writing.” ―Kirkus Reviews
  
  “Men is a witty, incisive collection that exhibits just the
right balance of empathy and suspicion for its subject. Kipnis is one of our keenest.” ―Sam Lipsyte, author
of The Fun Parts
  
  “Confusion is sex, as Sonic Youth proclaimed, and no one's a better guide to the
sexual confusion of the moment than Laura Kipnis. How can anyone so wise and tolerant about sexual politics also be so
funny and entertaining? But don't take a man's word for it. Pick up the book.” ―Benjamin Kunkel, author of
Utopia or Bust: A Guide to the Present Crisis
  
  “Laura Kipnis's voice is so intelligent and
irreverent, her writing so honest and emotionally as well as intellectually incisive, that I'd gladly read her on any
topic--but what she has to say about men, women, sex, and sexism is not to be missed. Whether she is writing about
philandering husbands or university sexual harassment codes, she approaches her subject without ideological blinders;
her take is invariably fresh, fair and respectful of the messy, imperfect thing we call the human heart.”
―Adelle Waldman, author The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P.
  
  “What do men want? Laura Kipnis
knows. Whether she's aiming her devastating wit at rogues or reprobates, Lotharios or losers (and the women who love
them), she's as fiercely intelligent as she is illuminating. When it comes to our ongoing gender wars, few writing today
possess her combination of insight and humor. None keep it as fun.” ―Adam Ross, author of Mr. Peanut
