Male Tears

In Male Tears, a collection of stories that brings together over ten years of work, Benjamin Myers lays bare the male psyche in all its fragility, complexity and failure, its hubris and forbidden tenderness. Farmers, fairground workers, wandering pilgrims and gruesome gamekeepers, bare-knuckle boxers and ex-cons with secret passions, the men that populate these unsettling, wild and wistful stories form a multi-faceted portrait of modern-day masculinity.
