Right Tool for the Job: A Memoir of Manly Concerns

Manhood today is under siege—regarded as an object of menace on college quads, associated with various forms of real and imagined oppression, ridiculed in humanities departments, parodied by sitcoms and commercials, and shriveled to a raisin-sized remnant by psychosexual theorizing.

But while manhood may be under attack in a sociopolitical context, it remains very much a living idea which every penis-endowed person must wrestle with over the course of his lifetime. The Right Tool for the Job is a comic account of one man's struggle to honor his testosterone heritage—with varying results.
