About this product

Product Information

Grayson Perry turns his acute eye on the gender that always seems to be in crisis in this funny, essential book. What is masculinity and what can it become? It might seem like a luxury in a world facing climate change and vast imbalances in global wealth, but Grayson Perry sees masculinity as a highly active component in all the big issues. Tracing the contours of the dominant male role today, its history and its clearly defined rules, The Descent of Man explores everything from sex, seriousness and intimidation to clothing, childhood and power, suggesting a more modern model of manhood which may reach escape velocity from the gravity of Traditional Man.

  • Absolute Corker - Grayson knows about Men - he is one.

    Grayson had a TV series and this book is linked but also includes other material. The story so far - Man is lost and Masculine behaviours are getting us nowhere. Time to rethink the male role and become more sensing, intuitive, less competitive etc. A quick read that can be done in one sitting - stimulating, full of autobiographical openness and very candid. Not structured like a sociology or psychology book would be but very much from the heart. All men should read it.
