Over the past fifty years, fiction in English has never looked more various. Books bulkier than Victorian three-deckers appear alongside works of minimalist brevity, and experiments with form have produced everything from verse novels to Twitter-thread narratives. This is truly a golden age. But what unites this kaleidoscopic array of genres and styles? Celebrated writer and critic Peter Kemp shows how modern writers are obsessed with the past.

Men are told they must earn their manhood. Society has dozens of misguided suggestions and even in churches, men seek self-assurance through spiritual performance.

Would you like to feel secure as a man without competing or pretending? In this book, Jeff Kemp shows you what it means to receive your identity as God's son and learn from Jesus' perfect example of being a man.
