Cracking ... Richly distinctive stories, with unnerving, dark plotlines’ Independent
'One of the most singular, moving and crucial voices of our times' David Peace
In Male Tears, a debut collection of stories that brings together over fifteen years of work, Benjamin Myers lays bare the male psyche in all its fragility, complexity and failure, its hubris and forbidden tenderness. Farmers, fairground workers and wandering pilgrims, gruesome gamekeepers, bare-knuckle boxers and ex-cons with secret passions, the men that populate these unsettling, wild and wistful stories form a multi-faceted, era-spanning portrait of just what it means to be a man.©2021 Benjamin Myers (P)2021 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Recensioni della critica
Impressive ... Myers’ compassionate and tender approach to his characters makes even the most flawed of them worthy of empathy
In his varied, and often satirical, takes on an alternative English history, steeped in the mythic, folkloric and grotesque, Myers taps into a rich vein of Yorkshire gothic, both menacing and comically absurd, its register set somewhere between Ted Hughes, Emily Bronte and The League of Gentlemen. The stories resonate most when his dark humour and lyricism combined
Richly distinctive stories, with unnerving, dark plotlines ... Bleakly funny
Moving fast and deadly, the stories in Male Tears carry us from bleak farms to lonely reservoirs and snowbound woods. Benjamin Myers writes sentences with a charging pulse and the account they give of masculinity is a bloody one, stripped of romance and larded with wit (Chris Power)
Benjamin Myers' stories in Male Tears cut right to the heart of the matter. This is fiction to be taken in gulps of pleasure - full of fire and light, wisdom and violence (Rob Doyle)
One of the most interesting, restless writers of his generation
Benjamin Myers’s multifaceted short stories grapple with the nature of masculinity
These collected stories are by turns bleak, sardonic, darkly funny and grievously moving ... Myers' theme is masculinity in all its varied woundedness, violence and pathos. There is gritty realism, otherwordly parable, pastoral vignettes and cutting satire, crafted from vivid pros and striking imagery ... They are incisive, powerfully revealing of the ways men are shaped, and how that shapes our world
A powerful new voice
Myers is the master of rural English noir (Paul Kingsnorth)
One of the most singular, moving and crucial voices of our times (David Peace)
Powerful, visceral writing (Pat Barker)
