What maleness should mean now, from the author of Vice's A Stiff Upper Lip is Killing British Men.
Jack Urwin, 24, is a journalist and a frequent contributor to Vice magazine, among other publications, who writes on pop culture, mental health, and music. His piece for Vice on his father's death A Stiff Upper Lip is Killing British Men was instantly shared tens of thousands of times around the world, and was called 'fabulous' by Irvine Welsh. This is Jack's first book. @JackMerlin
The brilliant, personal, not-actually-sexist writing by millennials
about masculinity and politics that the world has been waiting
for
*Laurie Penny*
Makes a powerful argument for greater emotional honesty. Urwin's
own battle with depression adds heft to an engaging and moving call
to arms
*Daily Express*
Urwin wants to show us that the classic palette of masculine
emotions- the fear of looking weak or small, the urge to compete,
the need to win- are not a response to reality, but a throwback to
a world that no longer exists.
*Financial Times*
Jack Urwin writes like he speaks: accessible, funny and
interesting. His Vice article got people talking and now, almost
two years on, he is right in thinking that the time for a big
discussion about masculinity has arrived.
