'Tis the season to be jolly, fa la la la la
and Red-Blooded American Male makes the perfect gift this season for anyone who loves art, loves to laugh and loves to think.
The photographs by Robert Trachtenberg are all stunning, provocative and ask you to re(define) what is masculinity and how pop culture has perverted our ideas of what is hot, what is not hot. And yes, there are some Canadians photographed here -- Trachtenberg readily admits that upfront. You won't care. Modern man transcends borders, takes risks and laughs at himself. Judd Apatow's food baby will likely make you laugh and cry, identifying with his daughter who said, "No, Daddy, no..."
Jackson Fox's letter from camp also elicited laughter. Each time you open this book, you will discover something new and delightful. It is a gift that keeps on giving.
I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review.
