Beschreibung:
Jack Urwin, 24, is a journalist and a frequent contributor to Vice magazine, among other publications, who writes on pop culture, mental health, and music. His piece for Vice on his father's death A Stiff Upper Lip is Killing British Men was instantly shared tens of thousands of times around the world, and was called 'fabulous' by Irvine Welsh. This is Jack's first book. @JackMerlinFrom Professor Green's TV programme about male suicide to the Southbank Centre's Being a Man festival, there's no hotter current topic in the media masculinity. This is the first book to catch that wave.
The men's equivalent of Natasha Walter's Living Dolls, Caitlin Moran's How to be a Woman or Naomi Wolf's The Beauty Myth.
From the 22-year old author of Vice's much-shared article A Stiff Upper Lip is Killing British Men (described as 'fabulous' by Irvine Welsh)

'Jack Urwin writes like he speaks: accessible, funny and interesting. His Vice article got people talking and now, almost two years on, he is right in thinking that the time for a big discussion about masculinity has arrived.' Telegraph
WHAT DOES MASCULINITY ADD UP TO IN THE 21ST CENTURY?
Jack Urwin traces modern ideas of masculinity from the inability of older generations to deal with the horrors of war, to the mob mentality of football terraces or Fight Club and the disturbing rise of mental health problems among men - especially young men - today.
While we struggle with the idea that there is a single version of masculinity worth aspiring to, depression and suicide among men have reached unprecedented levels. Man Up looks at the challenges and pressures on men today, and suggests ways to survive.
