Sinopsis

David ShieldsâÇÖsáThe Trouble with Men: Reflections on Sex, Love, Marriage, Porn, and Poweráis an immersion into the perils, limits, and possibilities of human intimacy. All at once a love letter to his wife, a nervy reckoning with his own fallibility, a meditation on the impact of porn on American culture, and an attempt to understand marriage (one marriage, the idea of marriage, all marriages),áThe Trouble with Menáis exquisitely balanced between the personal and the anthropological, nakedness and restraint. While unashamedly intellectual, itâÇÖs also irresistibly readable and extremely moving. Over five increasingly intimate chapters, Shields probes the contours of his own psyche and marriage, marshalling a chorus of other voices that leaven, deepen, and universalize his experience, his goal is nothing less than a deconstruction ofáerosáand conventional masculinity. Masterfully woven throughout is an unmistakable and surprisingly tenderácri de coeuráto his wife. The risk and vulnerability on display are in the service of radical candor, acerbic wit, real emotion, and profound insight-exactly what weâÇÖve come to expect from Shields, who, in an open invitation to the reader, leaves everything on the page.
