‘McBee’s beautifully written story is engrossing

and brave, and rings with triumph’

BuzzFeed

‘A brilliant work of art. I bow down to McBee – his

humility, his sense of humour, his insightfulness,

his structural deftness, his ability to put into

words what is often said but rarely, with such

visceral clarity and beauty, communicated’

Heidi Julavits

author of The Vanishers

‘A story about patience, forgiveness, kindness

and bravery . . . With this book, Thomas Page

McBee has done exactly what we should all

strive for: to tell our stories in ways that

humanise rather than sensationalise’

Lauren Morelli

writer, Orange Is the New Black

‘Well aware that memory and identity rarely

follow a linear path, Thomas Page McBee

attempts to answer the question,

“What does it really mean to be a man?”

Weaving past and present to do so, the book’s

journey connects violence, masculinity and

forgiveness. McBee has an intelligent heart, and it

beats in every sentence of this gorgeous book’

Saeed Jones

author of Prelude to Bruise

‘Exquisitely written and bristling with emotion,

this important book reminds us of how much

vulnerability and violence inheres to any identity.

A real achievement of form and narrative’

Jack Halberstam

author of The Queer Art of Failure
