How is the male psyche depicted in contemporary short fiction? Let’s look at four stories – by men, about men – that artfully explore the minds and actions of men in a variety of settings and situations. These award-winning authors share with us a peek inside what’s going on today with men under duress. Be prepared to encounter drugs, sex, male friendship, loneliness and alienation, alongside a young burgeoning masculinity. Stories will be emailed to students before the first class and include:

Victory Lap, George Saunders
The Clancy Kid, Colin Barrett
Outcomes, Natan Blum
Plaster, David Szalay
