Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Men are traditionally represented as being loud and aggressive - but what of men's silences? This book represents a political attempt to break out of the narrow parameters of men's sexual politics, and is an attempt to provide a psychoanalytic and theoretical account of male subjectivity.
