The male nude is everywhere today, from mainstream movies to magazine covers. What do we really see when men take off their clothes, in public and in private? In this surprising, candid cultural analysis, Susan Bordo, author of Unbearable Weight: Feminism, Western Culture, and the Body, writes about men and their bodies, both at home and in the media.
Beginning with a frank, tender look at her own father's body, and drawing on personal history as well as insights from her analysis of movies, novels, advertisements, news stories, and biology, she perceptively scrutinizes the presentation of maleness in everyday life.
