Being a Man by Robert Twigger
Further adventures in extreme (and not so extreme) sports, from the bestselling author of ANGRY WHITE PYJAMAS.
He is certainly very good on the allure of some male-dominated subcultures * Guardian *
If Twigger really is lamenting a passing age of masculinity, he does so in quixotic style in this amusing memoir * The Times *
Twigger is acute and disarming, and his book on manliness has the refreshing virtue of declining to see women as the enemy -- Robert Winder * New Statesman *
A beguiling stylist, he interleaves reminiscence and aphorism to produce something wholly originalA tour de force. -- Will Self
