Male Order

Manning Up in the Modern World

Clune Richard

Being a man, right now, is not only tricky but curious. In fact, men seem to be in the midst of a 21st century quandary regarding identity – too hard; too soft. Too emotional; too far removed from feelings.

An acerbic and extremely honest portrait of contemporary masculinity – "Male Order" lands at just the right time. Linking acute insights and engaging observations to a wealth of the writer's own experience (and stupidity), this is an exploration of modern man, and a guide on life, like no other.

While chapter headings such as "How Not To Be A Dick" and "How To Accept You Will Likely Not Change The World Or Sleep With A Supermodel Or Be Friends With George Clooney" set a certain tone, more serious excursions are built around sex, drugs, feminism, fatherhood – and the very real need for men to emote and talk more freely and honestly.
