Real Men Eat Puffer Fish by Robert Twigger
The Dangerous Book for Men obviously uses the Dangerous Book for Boys, but takes the ball and runs with it. It's a spoof, but not just a tired, lame parody: Twigger is deadly serious in a Hemingwayesque kind of way and sees this title as a natural extension of his 2002 book Being A Man. The action is more authentic -- he has plenty of experience of facing down bears, building coracles, swimming with sharks, playing high-stakes poker, removing fishhooks from his hands -- and will be mixed with the faintly ludicrous and un-PC (performing a tracheotomy; slitting the throat of a sheep 'Afghan fashion'; landing a Boeing 747).
'He's a bona fide media daredevil with brains and balls beyond the norm' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Though there is now an avalanche of guides to being a better man, this is the one that really ups the ante... This fills the gap between retro-tedium and techie manuals a treat.' BBC RADIO 6 MUSIC 'an interesting-looking and funny book..' VENUE
This is Robert Twigger's seventh book. He won the Somerset Maugham and William Hill Sports Book of the Year awards for Angry White Pyjamas. Big Snake was filmed for Channel 4.
