'A breeze of a read makes you see our male-manufactured world a little differently' Matt Haig'GRAYSON PERRY FOR KING & QUEEN OF ENGLAND Imagine how BRILLIANT our country would look if he was' Caitlin Moran Grayson Perry has been thinking about masculinity
- what it is how it operates why little boys are thought to be made from slugs & snails
- since he was a boy Now in this funny & necessary book he turns round to look at men with a clear eye & ask what sort of men would make the world a better place for everyone? What would happen if we rethought the old macho outdated version of manhood & embraced a different idea of what makes a man? Apart from giving up the coronary-inducing stress of always being 'right' & the vast new wardrobe options the real benefit might be that a newly fitted masculinity will allow men to have better relationships
- & that's happiness right? Grayson Perry admits he's not immune from the stereotypes himself
- as the psychoanalysts say 'if you spot it you've got it'
- & his thoughts on everything from power to physical appearance from emotions to a brand new Manifesto for Men are shot through with honesty tenderness & the belief that for everyone to benefit upgrading masculinity has to be something men decide to do themselves They have nothing to lose but their hang-ups
