But anyway, here are some you can try.
Sometimes one of Ken Kesey's great ideas. I like this novel very much. After watching it for about a week, I kept telling my wife that I wanted to give up teaching philosophy and become a lumberjack. I think reading this book has improved my testosterone level. I suspect that many people have written about masculinity in this novel, because I know it is correctly regarded as a classic, and it is obvious that it involves the theme of masculinity (which does not mean that the female perspective is ignored).
Adrian Moore's secret diary 13 and 3/4 years old, written by Sue Townsend. English readers of my generation must be familiar with this novel and its sequel. I remember Sue Townsend once said that her goal was to mock the affectation of young masculinity, but the more she wrote, the more she felt a little tender for the protagonist. These novels need a lot of explanations for contemporary American readers and even contemporary British readers. When I was 0/3 and 4 /4 years old, the pleasure of reading these books was to see Adrian Moore's reaction to the events we experienced.
The story of a convert of St. John Henry Newman This may be an unexpected choice. St. John Henry Newman is not a great novelist. Newman's novel tells the story of an Anglican who converted to Catholicism. Obviously, he tried to defend and explain his conversion, but today people who want to know Newman's own experience are more inclined to defend their own lives.
Newman's turn to Catholicism was regarded by his contemporaries as a failure of masculinity. Anyone who chooses to live alone will be suspected to some extent. This is not a novel about masculinity; The purpose of this is to defend the position of the Catholic church, or at least to make it seem more reasonable to choose Catholicism than to choose the state religion. However, inevitably, St. John Henry Newman showed a different picture of a man's life from his peers. This is worth discussing.
