When it comes to the challenge of being a man, Adam Farrer always seems to find a way to fall short. In this his second collection of candid personal essays, he vividly recounts his struggles to live up to masculine expectations. From the calamity of his first serious relationship, an obsession with Prince that sees everyone questioning his sexuality, the repercussions of his adult circumcision, getting dumped after a bout of vomiting on the Hull to Rotterdam ferry, his fears for how he'd survive the apocalypse, dealing with the murder of a family member and his experiences of Satanic Panic in 1980s' rural Suffolk, this is a book about growing up, trying to define yourself as a man and somehow always missing the mark.
