Grayson Perry has been thinking about masculinity - what it is, how it operates, why little boys are thought to be made of slugs and snails - since he was a boy. Now, in this funny and necessary book, he turns round to look at men with a clear eye and ask, what would happen if we rethought what makes a man? Apart from giving up the coronary-inducing stress of always being 'right' and the vast new wardrobe options, a newly fitted masculinity could allow men to have better relationships - and that's happiness, right? Grayson's thoughts on everything from physical appearance to a brand new Manifesto for Men are shot through with the belief that, for everyone to benefit, upgrading masculinity has to be something men decide to do themselves. They have nothing to lose but their hang-ups.
