About the Book
“Women and children first is a noble gesture if your on the Titanic
and it is going down, but it is no way to run a county.” --Morris Woodman
The feminist movement and the recession of the early 1990s created
a world that no longer works for men. In this world, men are often
assumed to be suspect and somehow tainted just because they are men.
A generation of men has arrived at middle age bewildered by losses such
as bankruptcy and divorce. Yet, the measure of their loss is not
in things but in the disconnection from the world of their fathers - worlds
which reach back for time out of mind.
“It’s the economy, stupid! Not exactly.” --Morris Woodman
The Emperor has new clothes. The spin of our national discourse,
both in mode and content, has become increasingly feminine in its sensibilities.
It is no mystery that the world is now shaped by polls and talk shows,
by opinions rather than by beliefs. And it is no mystery that by
in large men are disinterested in this world.
“As a man I have learned the following. Look at love and it disappears.
Close your eyes, and love swallows you whole.” --Morris Woodman
It is true that men express themselves with difficulty.
But if they could speak, it would be in a dark and dangerous book such
as this.
