By: David Herkt Masculinity is currently being re-evaluated. Balances are changing and this reassessment is reflected by book publishing. New fiction releases, particularly, are now more often written by women and fiction book awards reflect this. Benjamin Myers, however, is a prize-winning British male writer and his work is also a part of this re-calibration, approaching the subject from an entirely different angle.
Myers work is often grounded in the natural world and his prose is bold. In The Offing, his bestselling novel, Robert Appleyard looks back on a summer when he was 16, taken in by an older woman living in a remote English bay, and given perspectives on life through learning about her past. His new collection of short stories, Male Tears, demonstrates his full range.
