Description for Lad Trouble
Paperback. Applying an eclectic theoretical framework, ranging from Raymond Williams to Anthony Giddens to Judith Butler and Jacques Derrida, this study illustrates why the male confessional novel is too complex a phenomenon to be solely interpreted in terms of retrosexism. Num Pages: 388 pages. BIC Classification: DSA; JFSJ2. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 133 x 230 x 28. Weight in Grams: 558.
