520 | _aBenioff uses humor and rich characterizations to explore the sometimes thrilling, sometimes pathetic state of the American urban male. Over the course of eight stories, some with an appealing touch of the surreal, we are introduced to a faded football star, soldiers in a Russian winter, a punk rocker, and other young men on the cusp of discovery and loss. As he evokes the various states of agony and pleasurehumiliation, rebellion, camaraderie, and desire Benioff displays a profound understanding of the contemporary male psyche. | ||
