In Male Tears,a debut collection of stories that brings together over fifteen 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 and wandering pilgrims,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,era-spanning portrait of just what it means to be a man.
